Casita Maria, founded in 1934 by Claire and Elizabeth Sullivan, was recognized as the first charitable organization to serve Latinos in New York City after its programming started out serving newly arrived families from Puerto Rico. Today, the after-school enrichment program that offers recreational activities for youth in the Bronx continues to serve mostly Latino kids from the borough. In 2020, the program had total revenues of more than $3 million and over 100 employees.
