According to federal regulations, the selection of the entity is not a competitive process, but a process that must be approved by the Department of Federal Housing.<\/p><p>The role of the third sector was key to Puerto Rico&#8217;s immediate support and recovery following Hurricane Maria. Today it is even more important for the reconstruction of the island. The Department of Housing decided to delegate responsibility for the design as well as to manage the implementation of the Whole Community Resilience Planning program to the Foundation for Puerto Rico, a non-profit organization, to ensure that the process is inclusive, multisectoral, agile and transparent. Most importantly, that the program maintains a focus on the communities as the core of the program \u2013 not the government. Foundation for Puerto Rico has a track record of working and collaborating with all sectors, including public, private, academia, and other nonprofit organizations.<\/p><p>The selection process followed all legal requirements and is in compliance with the good use of federal funds.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7102d43 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"7102d43\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1181\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1181\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">WHAT IS THE COLABORATORIO?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1181\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1181\"><p>The Colaboratorio (&#8220;Laboratory of Collaboration&#8221;) by Foundation for Puerto Rico is a co-working space located in Ciudadela in Santurce that offers our guests over 8,700 sq ft. of space full of high-level technology.

After graduating from M.I.T. with a degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Jon returned to Puerto Rico to support the growth of his family\u2019s Health business. He led this company for the next 30 years, employing hundreds of employees during that time. In 2008, the company was acquired by Cardinal Health. Today, the company is the leading healthcare distribution company in Puerto Rico with over 500 employees &#8211; the largest distribution business in Puerto Rico. Jon remained as CEO of the Puerto Rico business until his retirement in 2011. That year, Jon founded Foundation for Puerto Rico.<\/p><p>Jon has also given back to the community by serving on the boards of directors of hospitals, schools, charities, religious organizations, research foundations, resident associations, and insurance companies. Among the more recent charities that Jon has chaired are the Puerto Rico chapter of The United Jewish Appeal and the Puerto Rico Holocaust Memorial.<\/p><p>In addition to giving his time freely to these causes, Jon has donated to various charities including La Perla de Gran Precio, a home for homeless, drug addicted women infected with AIDS and for their children. Jon is a major philanthropic giver. At MIT, he has endowed a needs-based undergraduate scholarship for students from Puerto Rico. In 2011, he expanded his relationship with MIT to include a multi-million dollar investment in the MIT Puerto Rico Economic Project to develop a new strategy for growth for Puerto Rico involving the MIT Center for International Studies, The MIT Community Laboratory, The MIT Political Science Department, the Sloan School of Management, and the Puerto Rico Center for a New Economy. In 2011, Jon established the Foundation for Puerto Rico to focus on high impact catalytic philanthropy to support these goals.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0d4991d elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"0d4991d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1391\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1391\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">WHAT IS JON BORSCHOW\u2019S ROLE WITH FOUNDATION FOR PUERTO RICO AND DISCOVER PUERTO RICO?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1391\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1391\"><p>Jon Borschow is a Puerto Rican entrepreneur and philanthropist who founded Foundation for Puerto Rico (FPR) in 2011.<\/p><p>FPR\u2019s mission is to develop Puerto Rico\u2019s socio-economic potential and transform the Island into a thriving destination for the world.
