Over the past years she’s built the Eva Longoria Foundation, an organization that connects Latinos located in low-income regions with mentors and connections that can help them grow in their field of work. “Of course, I am honored and thrilled personally, but I am even more excited about the impact I think we can have on this country through/by investing in the strength of the Latino community,” said Longoria to CNN. “Latinos in the US are a rapidly growing group with extraordinary potential, but we disproportionately lack the infrastructure opportunity we need and I’m excited to invest in that opportunity.” Bill McRaven, a retired Navy admiral and the former chancellor of the University of Texas System, was awarded with the other half of the $100 million.
