Our Nonprofit Development and Grantmaking Work in Puerto Rico
Hispanic Federation empowers grassroots nonprofits across Puerto Rico that are on the frontlines of serving the local community through grantmaking, capacity building, and more.
Amanece: Road to Recovery
Hispanic Federation strongly believes that community-based, non-profit organizations and the communities they serve should have a primary role in disaster relief and recovery, as well as co-creating the vision for Puerto Rico’s future.
In response to the devastation of Hurricanes Irma and María, in November 2017, Hispanic Federation announced the Amanece: Road to Recovery initiative as part of our UNIDOS Disaster Relief and Recovery Program to support recovery efforts led by non-profit organizations.
The goal of the Amanece initiative is to finance innovative projects that have a long-term vision of a just and sustainable recovery for the archipelago and its communities, with an emphasis on sustainability, self-sufficiency, and local collaboration and coordination.
Since its launch, the Amanece fund has provided 57 grants totaling $5.4 million to 40 local community-based, non-profit organizations. Amanece grants empowered these organizations with the resources needed to execute long-term recovery initiatives focused on housing, agriculture, economic development, environment, renewable energy, and emergency preparedness, among others.
