First and foremost we wish to thank the over 100 volunteers who out of the goodness of their heart have helped our community make the difficult adjustment to life in this country.  None of this work would be possible without the generous grant from the Z.

Fletcher Foundation and the many individual donors whose concern for social justice and human rights is essential in providing El Pueblo with the means to fight the good fight.

El Pueblo has the good fortune to work with enlightened partners who recognize the value of our work and fund our programs.  These grantors include the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the City of Raleigh Arts Commission, the American Cancer Society, the John Rex Endowment, the Mexican Government, Ipas, the Triangle Community Foundation, the Governor’s Highway Safety Program and the Governor’s Crime Commission, the Health and Wellness Trust Fund and the NC Department of Health and Human Services.

El Pueblo also gives thanks to the following Corporations whose sponsorship allows us to continue providing excellent services to the entire community.  They are State Farm Insurance, Univision, Wells Fargo, Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, La Conexion, Food Lion, Progress Energy, Que Pasa Media, Time Warner Cable, McDonald’s, Nationwide Insurance, Curtis Media, Rex Health Care, SunTrust Bank, Marbles Kids Museum, the News & Observer, Duke University Health System and La Mega Radio Station.
