About Fundacion de Mujeres En Puerto Rico

Fundacion De Mujeres En Puerto Rico channels resources through a feminist, anti-racist grantmaking model that supports women’s rights, reproductive justice, climate justice, and food sovereignty in Puerto Rico. A defining part of its work is emergency and recovery funding after Hurricane Fiona, paired with flexible support for organizations rooted in gender justice and community care. Recent grants show that approach in practice: $106,000 to Coordinadora Paz para la Mujer Inc for Gender Justice, Hurricane Fiona Emergency Fund, and Reproductive Justice, and $95,000 to Casa Juana Colon Apoyo y Orientacion a la Mujer for Gender Justice and the Hurricane Fiona Emergency Fund. The foundation also backs organizations working beyond crisis response, including feminist education, institutional strengthening, and agricultural projects led by women. Its active programs include a Fondo de Justicia Reproductiva created in 2023, a Fondo de Justicia Económica for operating and flexible support, and a Fondo de Justicia Climática y Seguridad Alimentaria that includes specific support for Vieques and Culebra. Across these efforts, the foundation centers organizations serving women, girls, and gender-expansive communities in Puerto Rico.
