Fundación Comunitaria de Puerto Rico (FCPR) is an independent tax-exempt entity pursuant to the provisions of Section 501(c) (3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Section 1101.01(a) (2) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended.

BRIEF HISTORY

Since 1984, the FCPR has allowed donors to contribute to the development of Puerto Rican communities. Individuals, families, corporations, and foundations have found the ideal philanthropic partner in the FCPR, to facilitate their support to the causes that matter to them the most, through the establishment, custody, and administration of funds.

Furthermore, FCPR’s community knowledge has enabled the institution to design programs that respond to community needs and opportunities with grants, technical assistance, and capacity building.

Since Hurricane María, its strategic plan promotes and strengthens equitable access to potable water, renewable energy, social housing, community economic development, and education, among other areas of interest.

So, the PRCF plays multiple roles such as grant-maker; grant-seeker, program administrator; philanthropic leader, community convener, fund manager and custodian of the community endowment.
