THANK YOU!
We exceeded our goal!

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, we gathered our community to fund the next chapter of the Niñas Arriba College Fund and WOW…

We raised $24,279!

We are deeply grateful to the Garza Family Foundation for offering a generous $2500 matching grant — which we far exceeded! — J.P.Morgan Private Bank for sponsoring the Platinum hour, Siete Foods for the swag bags, and all of our sponsors, friends and community members for making this possible!

Thanks to YOU, we can now…

Reina is a senior Economics major at La Universidad Centroamericana José Simeón Cañas. Her senior thesis is on migration and remittances and the vulnerability of the poor in El Salvador.

Fund Reina’s final college semester!

We provide 6-month paid internships upon graduation. Now, we can fund internships for our most recent graduates – Norma and Leidy – as well as Reina upon her graduation this Fall!

Provide 3 paid internships!

This is so incredibly exciting for us. Our project is small, but mighty, and these young women are the proof that educating women uplifts communities!

Start a new cohort of students!

Perched high above downtown Austin, we enjoyed music by Next Of Kin, Gina Chavez with surprise guest Carrie Rodriguez, and DJ Wavy Planet, delicious food by Eldorado Cafe, premium drinks by The Cordialist & Co. and a silent auction featuring Consuela, signed books by Brené Brown and so much more!

Our silent auction alone raised $3,230!
