The Fideicomiso José R. Álvarez & Gloria Figueras focuses heavily on supporting private K–12 schools and child-centered institutions in Puerto Rico, with many recurrent grants to Catholic and independent preparatory schools. Their giving also targets early childhood programs, residential care for children, and a smaller set of healthcare and higher-education beneficiaries, indicating a preference for education and child welfare within the island’s religious and community-based sector.
Fideicomiso Jose R Alvarez & Gloria Figueras shows a strong, repeated pattern of support for Puerto Rico’s private K–12 school sector, with the same institutions appearing year after year. In the recent grants list, Colegio San Ignacio received $20,054 in 2023, $17,680 in 2024, and $19,440 in 2025, while Robinson School received $15,000 in 2023, $17,000 in 2024, and $16,500 in 2025. That consistency points to a funder working through long-term institutional relationships rather than one-time awards. The foundation’s giving also reaches other independent and Catholic schools across the island, including Tasis School, Baldwin School, Saint Johns School, Colegio Puertorriqueno De Ninas, Commonwealth-parkville School, and Cupeyville School. Beyond schools, its existing focus areas include early childhood programs, residential care for children, children’s health services, and local higher-education or scholarship support. The overall picture is of a Puerto Rico-centered funder whose philanthropy is anchored in education and child welfare, with school grants making up the clearest visible thread in the recent record.
Education is the clearest theme. The foundation gave $15,000 to Tasis School in 2025 and the same amount to Baldwin School in 2025, alongside repeated support for Saint Johns School at $13,500 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. These awards align with a pattern of backing private K–12 institutions in Puerto Rico. Child-focused institutions also appear in the record. Colegio Puertorriqueno De Ninas received $13,015 in 2023 and $10,515 in both 2024 and 2025, showing multi-year support for a girls’ school. The list also includes Commonwealth-parkville School at $13,740 in 2023 and 2024, plus $10,000 in 2025. Another recurring area is school-based community support in San Juan and Bayamón, where grants frequently recur to the same campuses across multiple years.
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $2,618, and the 75th percentile is $6,180. The recent record shows a recurring-grant pattern rather than isolated giving; several recipients appear in multiple years, including Colegio San Ignacio, Robinson School, Baldwin School, Tasis School, Saint Johns School, Commonwealth-parkville School, Colegio Puertorriqueno De Ninas, Cupeyville School, and Colegio Marista. The foundation is a non-individual funder and does not make program-related investments. Its profile is local, with 99% of grants going to recipients in PR.

Concentrated, repeat funding: numerous mid-sized grants across many Puerto Rican schools and child-focused nonprofits, frequently issuing multiple (often three) grants to the same organizations rather than one-off large gifts; geographically concentrated in San Juan/PR and weighted toward education and child welfare.
Notable grantees: Colegio San Ignacio, Robinson School, Hospital del Niño, Casa de Niños Manuel Fernández Junc, Universidad Sagrado Corazón
Giving is overwhelmingly concentrated in Puerto Rico: 99% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state, and the top state by grant count is PR. Within the recent grant list, San Juan appears most often, with additional awards in Bayamón, Guaynabo, and Dorado. The recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 142 grants in the United States and no non-U.S. countries shown.
The clearest pattern is support for private K–12 schools in Puerto Rico, especially Catholic and independent schools. The recent grants list includes repeated awards to Colegio San Ignacio, Robinson School, Baldwin School, Tasis School, Saint Johns School, Commonwealth-parkville School, Cupeyville School, Colegio Puertorriqueno De Ninas, and Colegio Marista.
Yes. The recent record shows repeated support over multiple years for several schools. Colegio San Ignacio appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Robinson School in 2023, 2024, and 2025; Baldwin School in 2023, 2024, and 2025; and Saint Johns School in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
Almost all grants go to Puerto Rico. The data shows 99% of grants to recipients in PR, and the top state by grant count is PR. Recent recipient cities include San Juan, Bayamón, Guaynabo, and Dorado.
The grant-size distribution is relatively small: the 25th percentile is $1,000, the median is $2,618, and the 75th percentile is $6,180. Recent awards include both smaller grants and larger school grants, but the central tendency stays in the low thousands.
No. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its giving record is built around charitable grants to organizations, especially schools and child-centered institutions in Puerto Rico.
