some ways to help your fellow american citizens in puerto rico

over the last few days i have received many messages asking where and how to help those in need in puerto rico. as always, i went to my go-to person for more information on all things relating to my homeland: my father - who is not only a pillar of the puerto rican community, but also a dedicated philanthropist whose specific focus has been to support charitable organizations with low overheads, administrative transparency, and a commitment to insuring that donations make their way to those who need in the fastest and most efficient way.

we would also truly appreciate your sharing this post!

if you are interested in giving to help rescue and rebuilding efforts in puerto rico, here are some organizations that we believe will work diligently to make sure you make a difference:

THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE ROTARY CLUB (La Jolla) As a family with four generations of Rotarians (my father is a former president of this chapter) we know and trust this organization - not to mention that there are multiple Rotary Clubs on the island whose volunteers are standing by to help. Here is the Golden Triangle Rotary Club’s statement:

“All our fundraising will result in donations that will benefit people in Puerto Rico. Every penny of your donation will go from our Rotary Club directly to Rotarians in Puerto Rico who will convey to victims of the hurricane the food, drinking water, clothing, and other supplies they may need. There is no overhead, the work is all carried out by Rotarian volunteers on site in Puerto Rico; there are no intermediaries; there are no costs, fees, overhead. Rotary International has set up a Puerto Rico Donor Advised Fund (DAF-PR) initially funded at $1 million by an anonymous donor. The Rotary District Governor for Switzerland has been contacted by one of our members and has indicated that they are already sending 1,000 Shelter Boxes to the island. More and more good things are happening every day. We are here to help mankind, to make a difference.”

Donations can be made by check to: Pamela Russell, Treasurer La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club Foundation 7954 Auberge Circle San Diego CA 92127

Please specify “Puerto Rico” in the memo box on your check. Rotary is a 501c3 foundation - all donations over $250.00 are tax deductible. Please ask for a receipt in your correspondence.

THE FOUNDATION FOR PUERTO RICO Mission statement:

“The Foundation for Puerto Rico, a well-respected local non-profit foundation, is dedicating all of its efforts to hurricane relief. Given the logistical challenges of moving supplies to those most in need, financial donations will support the Hurricane María Relief Fund and will directly put dollars to work for immediate relief, providing food, water, and basic needs on the ground. They will also provide recovery assistance to the small business sector that is the backbone of the local economy, and the rehabilitation of Puerto Rico’s unique natural assets.”

UNITED FOR PUERTO RICO An organization spearheaded by the First Lady of Puerto Rico in conjunction with local and international businesses - here is their mission statement:

“United for Puerto Rico: Together Changing Paths is a 501©3 organization, operating under the guidance of the First Lady of Puerto Rico Beatriz Rosselló, that will be providing funds for immediate emergency aid needs of citizens that are not otherwise being funded, and then eventually will be provided to help rebuild homes and local community facilities. Any and all support will be highly appreciated by the 3.4 million U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico affected by hurricanes Irma and Maria.”
