Iowa Latinx Project: Data That Moves Communities Forward
What is the Iowa Latinx Project?
The Iowa Latinx Project transforms research into action. Through trusted data, community partnerships, and the lived experiences of Latino Iowans, we empower leaders, organizations, and decision-makers to build a stronger, more inclusive Iowa.
Together, we're advancing opportunity, strengthening communities, and creating a future where everyone can thrive.
Mission

Why This Project Matters
Latino Iowans are helping shape the state's future through their contributions to its workforce, economy, schools, and communities. Yet too often, decisions are made without the data or perspectives needed to fully understand their experiences.
The Iowa Latinx Project fills that gap by providing trusted research and resources that help leaders make informed decisions, strengthen communities, and create opportunities that benefit all Iowans.
