We’ve launched an initiative to support earthquake relief.

In the aftermath of the recent earthquakes near the southern coast of Puerto Rico, the Popular Foundation has pledged $250,000 to support humanitarian relief efforts throughout the area.

Our donation will be used to support the relief efforts of Center for Sustainable Agricultural Microenterprises and Technologies Yauco, Inc., the Network for the Rights of Children, and IDIIFCO (the Sisters of Fatima), among other organizations, which will provide first aid services and offer psychological support for the community.

Donate today.

Join us as we continue supporting these ongoing efforts to rebuild Puerto Rico’s devastated southern coast and its communities.
