Fundacion Gestos Positivos appears to operate as a Puerto Rico–focused philanthropic sponsor that raises and directs funds largely through a golf tournament or similar fundraising events. Its giving supports a mix of local schools, children’s health/hospital causes, community service organizations and faith-based institutions, with occasional support to a national pediatric research charity. Grants are typically event-linked sponsorships or program support rather than unrestricted endowments.
Fundacion Gestos Positivos Econo Inc’s giving is organized around TORNEO GOLF support, with the largest recent grant going to Instituto Nueva Escuela for $40,000 and a second major grant of $35,000 to Auditorium De Amor Kennedy Inc. That event-linked pattern appears throughout the recent record, where grants are awarded in set amounts tied to the golf tournament rather than as open-ended institutional support. The foundation’s recent recipients include schools, children’s health organizations, community service groups, and faith-based institutions, all within Puerto Rico. A $15,000 grant to Casa De Nios Manuel Fernandez Junc and another $10,000 grant to Sociedad Pro Hospital Del Nio Inc show how the foundation channels tournament proceeds into youth and pediatric causes. Other recipients include Kinesis Inc, Mujer Emprende Puerto Rico Inc, and Vitrina Solidaria Inc, suggesting a mix of education, women’s entrepreneurship, and local social welfare support. The structure is compact: annual grants totaled $197,199 against $122,899 in assets, with all recent giving directed to Puerto Rico recipients.
Education and youth programs are a visible part of the foundation’s recent giving. It awarded $40,000 to Instituto Nueva Escuela for TORNEO GOLF support and $8,000 to Politecnico Amigo Inc for the same purpose. Children’s health is another recurring theme, including a $10,000 grant to Sociedad Pro Hospital Del Nio Inc and a separate $10,000 grant to Alsac St Jude Children Research. The foundation also supports community and social-welfare groups: Vitrina Solidaria Inc received $9,500, and Connecting Paths Pr Inc received $7,000, both tagged TORNEO GOLF. Women’s entrepreneurship appears as well, with Mujer Emprende Puerto Rico Inc receiving $10,000.
Recent grant sizes cluster tightly around a small-event sponsorship model: p25 is $10,000, the median is $10,000, and p75 is $15,000. The record shows repeated TORNEO GOLF support across many recipients, with awards generally in flat, rounded amounts. Grants appear to be one-off awards tied to fundraising activity rather than recurring program grants; the recent list is concentrated in 2025. The foundation is structured as a Puerto Rico-based grantmaker with local giving only, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
