PRxPR Fund (Puerto Rico)
Donation protected
WHAT
PRxPR – a RELIEF & REBUILD FUND – a private, non-partisan, no overhead fund was purposefully created to help Puerto Rico in the aftermath of two deeply devastating and unprecedented hurricanes. Committed to investing 100% of donations amongst the most critically affected communities, the Fund's short and long-term humanitarian goals focus on food/agriculture, clean water and fuel/renewable energy initiatives.
WHY
Within a period of two weeks, Puerto Rico has been absolutely leveled by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, two of the worst storm ever recorded in the country's history. The country is devastated. The infrastructure is gone. Power was lost everywhere. 95% of wireless cell sites were lost. Much of the Island’s water is undrinkable. 100 bridges were demolished while 65% of all roads are impassable. 80% of the crop value in PR was wiped out. Hospitals are still struggling with power issues. This humanitarian crisis is ongoing.
WHO
The partners and leaders of the PRxPR Fund are highly respected, Puerto Rican born and raised business professionals who bring diverse and extensive US and international experience in key areas of operations, legal, financial, technology, government and marketing:
Carmen Báez (Former President, Latin America – Omnicom Group)

Francisco J. Cerezo, Esq. (Partner /US Head of Latin America Corporate – DLA Piper, LLP)
Marilú Medina, Esq. (Senior Counsel – Fortune 100 Company, former partner O’Neill & Borges, LLC)
Jorge Silva Puras, Esq. (Former Chief of Staff to the Governor of Puerto Rico)
This leadership team is enhanced by a team of top practitioners who operate within a culture that focuses on efficiency, speed to market, innovation, and accountability.
HOW
All monies raised by the PRxPR Fund are being disbursed based on criteria determined by official expert authorities on the ground and their vetted needs assessment. We will work with trusted local organizations to ensure that we provide relief to those that need it most, in a way that will have maximum impact on needy communities in Puerto Rico.
