Description
Founded in 1985, The Puerto Rico Community Foundation’s (PRCF) mission is to develop the capacities of the communities in Puerto Rico to achieve their social and economic transformation, stimulating philanthropic investment and maximizing the yield of each contribution. In the aftermath of hurricanes Irma and Maria, the PRCF responded to this crisis by providing immediate relief by providing water purifiers and energy generators. The PRCF future recovery efforts will look at long-term solutions in support of the various communities across Puerto Rico. With Corporation support, the PRCF will focus on challenges in including: providing potable drinking water to at least five communities, hydroponic farming, operating health centers, and promoting strategies to control flooding.
