The Puerto Rico Community Foundation <\/strong>(FCPR) is a philanthropic platform that for more than 39 years has mobilized resources for the communities. It is considered a non-profit organization, exempt under Sections 1101.01 of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code and Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we do<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Since 1984, donors have contributed to the development of Puerto Rican communities through the FCPR. Individuals, families, corporations or foundations have found in the FCPR the ideal philanthropic ally, an entity that has helped them turn into reality the desire to support the causes they are passionate about through the establishment, custody and administration of funds, which grant scholarships to university students or donations to non-profit organizations<\/strong>. In addition, the FCPR has programmatic approaches<\/strong> that also facilitate transformation processes <\/strong>in communities. These drive access to water and energy, racial and gender equity, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as activating economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We strengthen community capital to achieve equity, community prosperity and social justice.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The first and only community foundation in Puerto Rico<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The idea of creating a Puerto Rico Community Foundation began to take shape at a forum sponsored by the National Puerto Rican Coalition (NPRC), a non-profit organization run by Puerto Ricans in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea received strong support from the Puerto Rican diaspora and foundations in the United States, which supported the creation of a community-based organization that would mobilize local and international resources to be channeled through grants to community and non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The FCPR is the first community foundation in the Caribbean and Latin America, and today the only one in Puerto Rico. <\/span>It belongs to a network of over 1,600 that exist around the world. It has awarded more than $77 million in grants, scholarships, training and technical assistance in the areas of education, housing, economic and community development, energy, water, health, arts and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a community foundation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A community foundation <\/strong>is a philanthropic institution that responds to the diverse needs of its community, town or region. Their financial resources come from multiple sources, including philanthropists who entrust community foundations with the strategic execution to benefit their social causes. They are considered the community's philanthropic fund, where the community invests and the community receives. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
