• Capacity-building assistance to support and strengthen Hispanic community-based organizations: providing organizational assistance in management, governance, program operations, and resource development to Hispanic community-based organizations in urban and rural areas nationwide, especially those which serve low-income and disadvantaged Hispanics.
• Applied research, policy analysis, and advocacy: providing an Hispanic perspective on issues such as education, immigration, housing, health, employment and training, and civil rights enforcement, to increase policy-maker and public understanding of Hispanic needs, and to encourage the adoption of programs and policies which equitably serve Hispanics.

NCLR strengthens these efforts with public information and media activities and special and international projects. These include innovative projects, catalytic efforts, formation of and participation in coalitions, and other special activities which use the NCLR structure and credibility to create other entities or projects which are important to the Hispanic community, and can sometimes be "spun off" as independent entities.

NCLR is the largest constituency-based national Hispanic organization, serving all Hispanic nationality groups in all regions of the country. NCLR has over 270 formal affiliates who together serve 40 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia — and a broader network of more than 30,000 groups and individuals nationwide — reaching more than three and a half million Hispanics annually. Capacity-building assistance to support and strengthen local Hispanic groups — provided from NCLR’s Washington, D.C., headquarters and its field offices in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Chicago, San Antonio, and San Juan, Puerto Rico — focuses on resource development, program operations, management, and governance. NCLR provides services not only to its own affiliates, but also to other local Hispanic organizations; unlike organizations which serve only their own "chapters," NCLR welcomes affiliation from independent Hispanic groups that share NCLR’s goals and self-help philosophy. NCLR also assists Hispanic groups, which are not formal affiliates through issue networks on HIV/AIDS, health, education, leadership, and other issue areas.
