Exclusive artwork for UPS Express boxes honors Latin and Hispanic-owned small businesses
Artist Mar Figueroa illustrates the unstoppable spirit of women entrepreneurs
The piece Mar illustrated for UPS represents the mindset that has helped so many Latin and Hispanic-owned small businesses succeed. “In La Montaña, the heroine stands at a colossal scale – ready,” Mar said. "She’s an embodiment of the awe-inspiring aspirations, entrepreneurship and workforce connected to the Latin American community. I hope that when people experience this campaign, they feel celebrated for their journey or inspired to take the first step.”
Year-round support: Proudly Unstoppable is a campaign designed to amplify and uplift diverse small businesses and the communities they serve. Check out the Latin and Hispanic-owned SMBs we’re spotlighting this year here.
In 2022, The UPS Foundation invested over $3 million to empower Hispanic communities, including organizations like Unidos US, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Inc. and Hispanic American Center for Economic Development. But our support doesn’t end there:
- Our employee-led Hispanic and Latino Business Resource Group, Crecer, includes 20 chapters with approximately 1,500 members.
- Since launching the Women Exporters Program, we’ve equipped Latin and Hispanic-owned and women-owned small businesses with the skills to grow and develop their companies’ export capabilities.
- Hispanic and Latin Americans account for 18% of our U.S. talent base, laddering back to our goal of reflecting the communities we serve.
