Empowering BIPOC-Led Organizations with a Vision for Change
Our Story
Vision En Poder was born from a desire to create a space where BIPOC-led organizations and businesses could receive culturally responsive support to achieve their full potential. Founded by Hanncel Sanchez, a passionate advocate for social justice and equity, Vision En Poder builds on years of experience working within the nonprofit sector, particularly in supporting immigrant, LatinE, and underserved communities.
​
We know that BIPOC-led organizations often operate within systems that were not designed with them in mind. That’s why Vision En Poder’s approach is rooted in equity, with a focus on ensuring that each organization we work with has the tools, strategies, and support they need to thrive. We provide bilingual services in English and Spanish, creating a welcoming environment where language is never a barrier to accessing the resources and guidance needed to succeed.
