To develop the capacities of communities in Puerto Rico to accomplish their social transformation and economic self-sufficiency, stimulating investment in the communities and maximizing the yield of each contribution.
Puerto Rico Community Foundation Inc uses grantmaking to build community capacity in Puerto Rico, with a portfolio that reaches education, housing, community economic development, water, energy, health, arts, racial and gender equity, and sustainable development. A large share of its recent giving supports local organizations through programs that mix grants, fiscal sponsorship, and project capital. Recent awards show a strong emphasis on community infrastructure and economic self-sufficiency. One Stop Career Center of Puerto Rico received $161,000 in 2025 for resiliencia, and Asociacion de Acueductos Comunitarios de Puer received $158,506 in 2024 to strengthen or restore community aqueducts. The foundation also backed incubacion for Mujeres de Islas Inc with $111,000 in 2025, and supported several Puerto Rico-based nonprofit intermediaries and community groups through subawards and sponsored structures. Its grantmaking also reaches education and community wellbeing. Grants include $73,500 to Nuestra Escuela Inc for educacion, $73,243 to Ashford Presbyterian Community Hospital for neonatal intensive care, and $70,000 to Fundacion de Mujeres en Puerto Rico Inc for SIEMPREVIVAS. Across these awards, the foundation appears to fund both direct service and the organizational capacity needed to sustain it.
In community economic development, the foundation backed multiple incubation efforts. It gave $111,000 to Mujeres de Islas Inc for incubacion in Culebra, and also supported Centro de Microempresas y Tecnologias Agricolas Sustentables Yauco Inc and Oficina para la Promocion y el Desarrollo Humano Inc through incubation-related awards. Housing and infrastructure are another clear thread. One Stop Career Center of Puerto Rico received $140,000 in 2023 for rehabilitacion de ocho viviendas in Playa, Salinas, while Plenitud Iniciativas Eco-Educativas Inc received $100,000 in 2024 for acquisition of land. The foundation also funds energy and water resilience. Asociacion de Acueductos Comunitarios de Puerto Rico received $158,506 in 2024 to strengthen or restore community aqueducts, and Comunidad Solar Toro Negro Inc received $50,000 in 2024 for estudios supervisados tied to solar work. Health and wellbeing appear through grants such as $39,000 to Fundacion A-Mar para Ninos Quemados Inc for servicios psicologicos.
