About Fondos Unidos de Puerto Rico
Fondos Unidos de Puerto Rico concentrates its giving on Puerto Rican community-based social service organizations, prioritizing program support for children, youth, people with disabilities, older adults, and neighborhood family services. The foundation repeatedly funds a network of local providers (many with multiple grants), often channeling large unrestricted or program support awards to established community centers, YMCAs, and care homes that deliver direct services. Grants are mission-driven rather than project-specific, indicating a preference for sustaining operational capacity among frontline nonprofits across the island.

Who They Fund
About Fondos Unidos de Puerto Rico
Fondos Unidos De Puerto Rico Inc repeatedly directs large operating and program-support grants to Puerto Rican community agencies that deliver services for children, youth, older adults, and people with disabilities. The largest recent awards in the record go to Centro Sor Isolina Ferre Inc in Ponce, including $721,162 in 2023 and again in 2024, and to Programa De Educacion Comunal De Entrega Y Servicios Inc (PECES) in Punta Santiago at $680,118 in both 2023 and 2024. That repeated pattern points to sustained support for local providers rather than one-time project grants. Across the recent grants list, the foundation backs organizations that appear to function as service hubs: neighborhood centers, YMCAs, rehabilitation providers, residential care homes, and municipal partners. Many awards are labeled to cover program services of participating agencies, which suggests a pass-through or consortium style of funding. The grant record also shows multi-year support to the same organizations, including recurring awards to YMCA De San Juan Inc, Sociedad De Educacion Y Rehabilitacion (SER) De PR Inc, and Hogar Fatima Inc. Taken together, the portfolio reflects a consistent emphasis on keeping frontline nonprofits operating across Puerto Rico.
