Cambio para Cambio (Change for Change) is a community-led campaign that realizes the philanthropic power of Latino/Hispanic students, local businesses, families and professional organizations. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, every dollar donated from September 15 through the end of October will be matched 100% by generous Hispanic Development Fund (HDF) donors, doubling the giving power and impact of your gift.
Last year, with the support of our generous community, my siblings and I were able to raise $3,250 for the scholarship we started in honor of our parents, Chayo Gómez and Temo Pérez, and with the match it turned into $6,500! The first year we awarded $1,000, so it has been such a blessing to have you join our efforts and watch the positive impact over the years.
In previous years, many colleges and universities would award an additional scholarship to HDF scholars who attended their institutions. Unfortunately, due to threats from the new presidential administration to pull funding from the universities if they don't end race-conscious programs, including scholarships, some universities have ended their financial support for the HDF Scholarship Program, which has been detrimental to the community we serve. The Class of 2025 HDF Scholars are losing a combined $400,000 in matching dollars from previous partners, including the University of Kansas, Kansas State University and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
HDF Scholars are high achieving students who come from low to modest-income households, majority first-generation college students, and some who are undocumented (not allowed to receive any federal Pell Grant dollars, loans, etc. and pay out-of-state or even international tuition rates, sometimes 2-3x higher than US residents and citizens), so this scholarship is truly a life changing opportunity.
Please continue to support by donating and/or sharing our link during Hispanic Heritage Month. Together, we will use change to continue creating change!

Cambio para Cambio es una campaña para recaudar fondos para becas universitarias. Se lleva acabo a través del liderazgo de la comunidad en Kansas City, incluyendo a estudiantes, empresas locales, familias, negocios y organizaciones profesionales. Para celebrar el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, cada dólar donado del 15 de septiembre a finales de octubre será igualado en un 100% por generosos donadores del Hispanic Development Fund (HDF), duplicando el poder y el impacto de su donación.
El año pasado, con el apoyo de nuestra comunidad tan generosa, mis hermanos y yo pudimos recaudar $3,250 para la beca en honor a nuestros padres, Chayo Gómez y Temo Pérez. Con la contribución equivalente por HDF, se convirtió en $6,500! El primer año otorgamos $1,000, así que ha sido una gran bendición que se unan a nuestros esfuerzos y vean el impacto positivo a travez del tiempo.
En años anteriores, algunas universidades otorgaban una beca adicional a los estudiantes que reciben una beca de HDF. Desafortunadamente, debido a las amenazas de la nueva administración presidencial de retirar la financiación a las universidades si no elimina los programas con enfoque racial, incluyendo las becas, algunas universidades han cancelado su apoyo financiero al Programa de Becas HDF, lo cual ha perjudicado a la comunidad que servimos. Los becarios HDF de la generación 2025 están perdiendo un total de $400,000 en fondos de socios anteriores, entre ellas la Universidad de Kansas, la Kansas State University y la Universidad de Missouri-Kansas City.
Los becarios de HDF son estudiantes académicamente exitoso que provienen de hogares con ingresos modestos, en su mayoría estudiantes universitarios de primera generación y algunos son indocumentados (no se les permite recibir dólares federalas como el Pell Grant, préstamos, etc. y pagan tasas de matrícula fuera del estado o incluso internacionales, a veces 2-3 veces más altas que los residentes y ciudadanos de USA.), por lo que esta beca es una oportunidad que realmente cambia la vida de los estudiantes.
