Valoramás, a Hispanic-focused online membership club, will be awarding grants totaling $150,000 to 16 Latino-serving community organizations in Chicago and Houston. The Valoramás Founders' Grants Initiative awards will be allocated based on the results of an online vote by Valoramás members, according to a news release.

Voting will take place April 27-May 20. The company will waive its $25 annual membership fee to allow community members to vote. Interested parties can register at Valoramas, using the promotional code "FOUNDERS2012."

"We are excited to make a positive difference in Latino communities by giving Valoramas' members the final say in which Latino community groups will get the lion's share of our $150,000 Founders' Grants Initiative," said Alejandra Garza, president of Valoramás.
