San Juan, PR \u2013<\/strong> Foundation for Puerto Rico (FPR), a non-profit organization with over a decade of experience working towards socio-economic transformation for the island, has been selected as the recipient of significant economic grants from USDA Rural Development. According to Maximiliano J. Trujillo-Ortega, State Director of USDA Rural Development for Puerto Rico, “USDA Rural Development has awarded $1,588,204 in grants to farmers, agricultural producers, and non-profit organizations to support the economic development of rural communities in Puerto Rico. Through these grants, we aim to ensure that the development of rural communities on the island is sustainable, promoting the quality of life for residents”.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Among the organizations receiving these funds is FPR, an entity to which three grants were allocated from various federal programs:<\/strong><\/p>

Funds from the Rural Business Development Grant (RBDG) to provide technical assistance that will address rural communities in the Eastern region of Puerto Rico, aiming to promote innovative solutions that foster the growth of the visitor economy and benefit local communities.<\/p>

Funds from the Rural Community Development Initiative (RCDI) to provide technical assistance and training services to municipalities and non-profit organizations, supporting the development of community projects in the municipalities of Ceiba, Naguabo, and Juncos.<\/p>

Funds from the Community Facilities Technical Assistance and Training Program (CF-TAT) to provide technical assistance and training for the conceptual development and financing of a transportation terminal in the municipality of Naguabo. It is noteworthy that this is the first time an entity in Puerto Rico has received funds from this program.<\/p>

All these grants require matching funds from private sources by the organizations (ranging from 20% to 100%).<\/span><\/p>

“For the past 4 years, our organization has been working directly with the communities in the eastern region through various initiatives. Now, thanks to these grants and the support of our collaborators, we will continue to fully engage in projects that promote sustainable economic development for the entire region. As usual, we will be working closely with communities, municipal governments, the United States Forest Service, other non-profit entities with years of experience in the area, and US Rural Development, with whom we are also collaborators through the Rural Partners Network (RPN),” expressed Alma Frontera, Vice President of Operations and Programs at FPR.<\/p>

Through the obtained grants, USDA Rural Development aims to impact rural communities, particularly those that are part of the Rural Partners Network (RPN), an initiative of the Biden-Harris administration that seeks to facilitate collaboration between federal agencies, community organizations, and other entities to improve access to federal government resources in rural communities. Currently, the RPN is impacting 15 municipalities in Puerto Rico. FPR is one of the collaborating hosts of the East Community Network composed of Fajardo, Ceiba, and Naguabo.<\/p>

In addition to FPR, USDA Rural Development awarded economic grants to other non-profit entities and farmers, including:<\/span><\/p>

Monte Azul, a non-profit organization providing technical assistance in Yabucoa, received RBDG funds to expand mentoring programs for farmers, business incubators, and accelerators to increase local food production, create and retain agricultural jobs, and support rural communities.<\/p>

De Mi Tierra a Mi Pueblo Corp. received an investment from the Value-Added Producer Grant (VAPG) program for a farm located in Caguas, which will be used in the processing and marketing of cilantro.<\/p>

Nestor Reyes Farm & Associate, Inc. (Coqu\u00ed Eggs) from R\u00edo Grande received VAPG funds for the production and marketing of packaged eggs. They will be packaged in translucent cardboard boxes with labels containing the appropriate nutritional information<\/p>

Finca Luis Roig (Coffee Don Luis) from Yauco obtained VAPG funds to enhance the processing and marketing of packaged roasted coffee.<\/p>

Loyd Sanabria (Santa Fe Agricultural Farm) from Salinas obtained VAPG funds to enhance the processing and marketing of packaged and graded raw table eggs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
