Leaving a legacy of love to make Puerto Rico a better country
In the early 1980s, a group from the Puerto Rican community in the United States promoted the creation of an institution that could support the strengthening of communities in Puerto Rico. The idea resonated with U.S. foundations that supported the promotion of this novel idea, which would allow for a community foundation strengthened by the Puerto Rican community to serve the communities in Puerto Rico.
Thus was born the Puerto Rico Community Foundation and the Community Endowment Fund, which over the past 38 years has been a lovingly cultivated endowment, thanks to contributions from individuals, families, corporations and other foundations, enabling community support of more than $80 million in grants, training, technical assistance, scholarships and emergency donations to organizations and individuals.
We invite you to review our trajectory, e annual reports and that you can make your contribution to continue strengthening our institution, which in turn allows us to support the communities of our archipelago.
Your contribution becomes a legacy of LOVE.
