We’re proud to share that the Fort Worth Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (FWHCC) has been named a finalist for D CEO’s 2025 Nonprofit & Corporate Citizenship Awards in the Nonprofit of the Year category!
This recognition is more than just a title—it’s a reflection of the tireless work, deep-rooted partnerships, and powerful momentum we’ve built alongside our members, community stakeholders, and corporate allies.
Leading with Impact and Intention
In our application for this year’s award, we shared how FWHCC has evolved into more than a traditional chamber of commerce—we’ve become an economic driver, a connector, and a voice for Hispanic entrepreneurs. Over the past years, we’ve launched new programming aimed at closing the revenue gap for minority-owned businesses, created more accessible pathways to capital, and built bridges between business owners and public institutions. We are also incubating a unique project with help from the City of Fort Worth called the Historic Northside which led to our nomination this year.
About the Historic Northside Project
The Historic Northside Project is a community-centered revitalization effort focused on preserving, reinvesting in, and uplifting one of Fort Worth’s oldest and most culturally rich neighborhoods. Located just north of downtown and adjacent to the iconic Stockyards, the Historic Northside has long been a vibrant hub for Hispanic and immigrant communities.
This project aims to:
-
Engage residents in planning and decision-making, ensuring redevelopment reflects community values and needs.
-
Support small business development and workforce opportunities tied to construction and neighborhood services.
Spearheaded by a coalition of community organizations, city leaders, and local chambers like FWHCC, the project is a model for equitable growth—where heritage is preserved and families are empowered.
From our mentorship initiatives and financial literacy workshops to our advocacy at the state capitol and our soon-to-launch leadership program, we continue to challenge what chambers can and should do. Our impact model is rooted in equity, community-led design, and cross-sector collaboration.
Thank You to Our Community
We are honored to be recognized among so many inspiring organizations doing critical work across North Texas. This recognition belongs to all of you—our members, board, partners, staff, and supporters—who continue to believe in the power of community-driven leadership.
Stay tuned as the winners are announced later this year—and thank you for helping us make history, together.
