Puerto Rico Earthquake Support

Puerto Rico has declared a state of emergency after a series of earthquakes have impacted the island. We are collaborating with partners and organizations on the ground including Filantropía Puerto Rico, Banco Popular Foundation, Boys and Girls Club of PR, Para la Naturaleza, Centro Sol Isolina Ferré, Utopia Ponce, Amerihealth Caritas, Fundación Colibrí Puerto Rico, Fundación Comunitaria de Puerto Rico, World Central Kitchen, Utopia Ponce, Amerihealth Caritas, Apoyo Mutuo Mariana, Clinton Foundation, and Hispanic Federation to help those most in need. We’ll be updating with resources and information as it comes in. To continue to support these community partners and help them grow their services to a community in need, Hispanics in Philanthropy is developing a fundraising campaign that will equally distribute the funds to groups on the ground. This effort has not gone unnoticed and we would like to thank the Roy and Patricia Disney Family Foundation for their generous $35,000 grant to help supplement the $15,000 we are raising. MAKE A DONATION HERE. Please help us by sharing the information below.

Fundación Comunitaria de Puerto Rico is focusing on immediate relief, psycho-emotional support, and the organizing of Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT). FCPR is relying on community-based organizations as philanthropic partners. These are on-the ground organizations that understand their communities’ needs. They are supporting organizations that can provide psychological support for adults, psychological support for kids—including entertainment and immediate supplies—and Community Emergency Response Team. Looking at the mid-range future, the goal is to strengthen community aqueducts infrastructures in the region to provide access to clean and drinkable water. The Puerto Rico Community Recovery Fund has been reactivated to support affected communities. FCPR’s Board has approved $300,000 to be set aside in support of this strategic intervention plus their network of US community foundations has raised an additional $100,000.

The Hispanic Federation is providing water and solar lamps to World Central Kitchen food distribution sites, personal hygiene products to shelters and non- profits, and solar lamps to communities without power. The Federation is also providing a limited number of generators for extreme need cases only (eg: for use with life-saving medical devices for those unable to be relocated).

Finally, the Federation’s mental health initiative with UPR, Proyecto PATRIA, is also coordinating to offer services across the island. Please visit: www.hispanicfederationunidos.org for more information.
