CASE STUDY #1
Foundation for Puerto Rico
About the client
Foundation for Puerto Rico (FPR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that seeks to unleash Puerto Rico’s potential in the global economy. Its objective is to transform the island to be a more prosperous, thriving, and sustainable actor by activating the island’s civil society and business leaders and mobilizing diaspora communities in mainland United States. FPR is more than a vehicle for fundraising and donations; it is a fiscal agent that collectivizes synergy, dynamic capabilities, and creativity to support its own operational initiatives which have been the recipient of many prestigious federal grants and public contributions. By connecting with Puerto Ricans across the country, FPR has created a unique infrastructure for the advancement of the island’s visitor economy.
How LMA helped
After Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico, the tourism industry – the largest and most important sector of the island’s economy – was also deeply affected. LMA stepped in to help FPR in a variety of roles. First, we helped them build a stronger networking system to integrate the support of diasporic Puerto Ricans by creating a model for fundraising events in cities with large Puerto Rican presence. Another project focused on strengthening the foundation’s annual giving program, which increased by over 300% in one year in part by adopting sound fundraising strategies that LMA designed specifically for FPR’s efforts. Enhancing different areas of their fundraising infrastructure (corporate donations, annual fund, government grants) allowed FPR to create a culture of philanthropy within the organization. Our team of strategic experts also participated in a board retreat and helped revamp FPR’s board governance which enabled a more streamlined, integrative power dynamic.
