Membership in the Hispanic Federation is open to Latino non-profits in the states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. To become a member, an agency must provide health and human services directly to clients in their communities.

Agencies must also meet two of the following three criteria:

• Led by a Latino executive director
• Governed by a majority Latino board of directors
• Serves a majority Latino client population

In addition, an agency must be certified as a 501(c)(3) by the Internal Revenue Service, be incorporated in its state of operation, have an annual operating budget of at least $150,000 for the prior and current year, and be in existence for at least three years.

Currently, the Hispanic Federation does not require membership dues for participation in its programs.
