LEADERSHIP

DIEGO SILVA - VICE PRESIDENT FOR TNT4C

Diego Silva serves as Regional Vice President for Together for Hope’s TNT4C region — a call to stand alongside communities across Texas, New Mexico, the Four Corners, Oklahoma, and the Dakotas that have carried the weight of persistent poverty for generations. Diego is deeply passionate about rural America — the small towns, tribal nations, and border counties too often left out of the national conversation — and believes their revival is central to the country’s future, not a footnote to it.

For over 13 years, Diego has built his career at the intersection of family strengthening, economic development, and public policy, believing that lasting community transformation comes not from programs alone, but from people who are empowered, dignified, and equipped to build something that lasts. He has led initiatives integrating family-centered care with economic solutions — from Benefits Cliff navigation and asset building to entrepreneurial support and job pipelines — across Texas and 8 countries, including Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Kenya, and Ethiopia. He also serves as President of EduK, advancing early-childhood development across Latin America.

Diego’s government relations work has carried him from the Texas Capitol to Washington, D.C., building the relationships that turn advocacy into policy and resources. He is a Founding Fellow of the USDA’s Inaugural Faith and Opportunity Fellowship, served as President of the Texas Christian Community Development Network, and served as policy advisor to numerous foundations.

Diego holds an MPA from UT Rio Grande Valley and a BA from Baptist University of the Americas, and is trilingual in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. He is driven by a passion to see the Church reclaim her prophetic voice and place in society — not retreating from the public square, but standing in it, speaking truth to power on behalf of the poor and forgotten. He lives in Georgetown, Texas, with his wife, Gabriela, and their two sons, and considers this work an extension of his own family’s story of migration, rebuilding, and dissent.
