Donations

Fundación de Culebra

Every donation is important. They are the engine of our organization. In addition, you can fully deduct it from your Puerto Rican or Federal tax contributions. Our organization uses the funds raised for direct services for children, youth and the community in general. Did you know that the executive director, the Board of Directors and several volunteers donate their time? Every little bit counts said Juan Romero in 1994. This is still very true. We are showing you some photos of how we received our locations and how we transformed them with your help. The most important thing is the transformation in education and life skills that you can only see in the faces of our participants. We also receive corporate donations that are often designated for specific progam expenditures. We are all a tribe in Culebra where we all take care of each other to have a better community and a better place to live.

Casa de la Música y la Resilencia
- What we need to do now . . .

Fundacion de Culebra’s most visibly impactful community project is the program Música Pa’ Culebra. It is also the most work and personnel intensive activity year round. At any moment there are 3-4 music teachers visiting the island to give music lessons, to rehearse the steel band or to organize/implement a concert. That is why we call the project Casa Música, but the need behind it goes far beyond music. Fundacion de Culebra also provides environmental protection education, preserves the history of the island and offers cultural activities (theater, concerts, art exhibits) to the community. During Hurricanes Irma and Maria, it served as a leader in attending the needs of the community. During Covid it was a key source of information and tracking for the community. This explains the “y Resiliencia” on the project name. We believe in the relationship and importance of cultural, emotional and energetic resilience. The project is our response to the need for short term housing for resources that serve our programs and overall community, in a market now taken over by expensive short term rentals via Airbnb. We will make these facilities available to any person or entity doing good for our island, whether they visit as part of our programs or not. The project involves 3 phases: -Convert the 45 foot container into a flexible space to be used during the construction of the main house, with its large porch as a stage for music events. -Rebuild the existing house structure (including roof reconstruction) into a proper temporary multiroom facility with a full kitchen. -Then return to the van and convert it into a community office center with free use of computers, internet access and cultural hub for activities with its stage and housing facility in place. By having a solar system we can: -Teach our community, including kids in the music program, how to operate and maintain a solar system. -Save on electric bills while reducing carbon emissions -Serve as a community resilience center during critical periods
