Types of funds

The Puerto Rico Community Foundation offers a variety of funding and service options to help you achieve your philanthropic goals and respond to community needs, gaining benefits and higher returns with each investment. From endowment funds, in which you can build and guarantee your perpetual legacy, to non-permanent funding, if you prefer a cost- and time-effective option for granting donations or scholarships.

  • Unrestricted donation
    The donor grants a donation for the Foundation to determine the best way to invest it in the community or for the strengthening of FCPR.
  • Grant-making foundation
    Establish a fund focused on a specific area of interest for making grants to non-profit organizations serving that area of interest.
  • Scholarship Grant Fund
    Establish a fund focused on an area of particular interest for the awarding of scholarships or recognition to individuals.
  • Temporary or permanent fund 

You can establish a permanent fund, which will be governed by the Investment Policy and Disbursement Policy that governs the perpetual funds of the Puerto Rico Community Foundation. You can also establish a temporary fund that is not invested in the stock market.


The administration of a fund entails an administrative cost:

  • Permanent Fund– 11% of the fund's value
  • Temporary Fund– 15% of the contribution amount
