CEIBA is a coalition of Latino community-based organizations in Philadelphia. It was founded in 1989. The coalition is named after the Ceiba trees that grow in the Caribbean. They are renowned for their longevity and as great gathering places for people to meet and talk under the shade.
Ceiba's mission is to promote the economic development and financial inclusion of the Latino community through collaborations and advocacy aimed at ensuring their access to quality housing.
Through Ceiba, the member agencies enhance and coordinate the delivery of their asset building services through an approach that integrates financial literacy, comprehensive housing counseling, free tax preparation services, access to the Earned Income Tax Credit, Individual Development Accounts (IDAs), and public benefits. IDAs are structured savings programs that provide matching funds for participants who meet a savings goal.

Because so much of HACE’s history has been working against the trend of disinvestment in its neighborhoods, our leaders have always understood the need for strategy, synergy, and partnerships. Strategy has been shaped through community-wide planning and teamwork, which has helped us to share a vision with our community partners of the future that we can work toward.
From inception, we understand the need for partnership with other entities that share our goals—particularly with nonprofits that specialize in education, recreation, social services, arts, and culture. These collaborations allow us to focus on what we do best: planning and envisioning, encouraging homeownership, working with the business community, developing “bricks and mortar” projects, and delivering social services to our residents.

Xiente‘s mission is to transform communities by empowering individuals to achieve social mobility.
Xiente, our new name, embraces our transformational mission and vision to create a “path of economic mobility” that empowers people to rise up from poverty to prosperity.
According to the Economy League of Greater Philadelphia, Philadelphia is the “poorest” of the largest U.S. cities, with 23.3 percent of residents living in poverty. Many of these are people of color, including immigrants who have not had the education or opportunities to establish a better life for themselves or their families.
According to Pew Research’s “Philadelphia 2023 The State of the City” Hispanic residents had the highest poverty rate in 2021, at 30% — nearly 2.5 times the rate for non-Hispanic White residents.
We are out to change the game by helping to make Philadelphia a high-performing city for economic mobility.
