Charitable purpose
The organization exists exclusively for charitable purposes: providing safe emergency shelter and refuge support; delivering expressive art and creative therapy for mental health recovery; distributing food and basic-needs assistance to families below the poverty threshold; running youth mentorship and educational workshops; and conducting community health and street-level outreach across San Juan and surrounding municipalities.
No part of the organization's net earnings inures to the benefit of any director, officer, employee, or private individual. Board service is voluntary and unpaid.
Governance and financial compliance
The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors that meets regularly to review programme delivery, financial performance, and policy. Accounts are maintained on an accrual basis, reconciled monthly, and reviewed by the board, with restricted gifts tracked separately from receipt through to application.
We comply with the registration, record-keeping, and annual reporting requirements applicable to non-profit entities operating in Puerto Rico and with applicable United States federal requirements. Donation records, receipts, and programme documentation are retained for the periods required by those rules.
