Corporate Relationship Opportunities

Why Partner with NCLR?
Corporate America has long understood the significance, in terms of both economic and societal impact, of America’s growing Hispanic community. Since its founding in 1968, NCLR has worked closely with major corporations to promote and institute initiatives that strengthen the Hispanic community and ensure the well-being and future prosperity of America. The following statistics illustrate the value of investing in this thriving market:

• As of July 1, 2008, the Hispanic population in the U.S. was nearly 47 million, or 15.4% of the total population; nearly one in six U.S. residents was Hispanic.
• Thirty-four percent of the Hispanic population was under age 18 in 2008. The Hispanic population is much younger than the general population, with a median age of 27.7 years compared with 36.8 years for the total U.S. population.
• In 2008, Hispanics accounted for 8.9% of all U.S. buying power, which is projected to reach nearly $1.4 trillion by 2013.
