As in many places in the United States, economic, social and environmental degradation in Puerto Rico disproportionally affects the island's most vulnerable populations. Investments that build community and ecological resiliance can be key to ensuring that all Puerto Ricans benefit equally. Learn about updates on philanthropic support and collaborations underway in San Juan and around the island. Our distinguished panel will offer fresh thinking to systemic challenges and new models that may be applicable to other cities and regions in the U.S.
Join us for this follow-up session to the funder learning tour that took place last fall in Puerto Rico and part of a series of conversations that will be planned in the coming year.
*Please note participation with the learning tour is not required to attend this session.*
