GivingTuesday Puerto Rico collects $900K for 100+ orgs.
Under the slogan “Restoring with generosity,” the GivingTuesday Puerto Rico (GTPR) movement estimated its collections at $908,752 in 2022 for the benefit of 102 nonprofit organizations (OSFL) across the island, officials said.
According to the data provided by the global movement, Puerto Rico received $515,545 in online donations and as reported by Evertec, another $393,207 were raised through the ATH Móvil platform.
The amount raised stands in stark contrast to the $116,000 raised in 2017, when the movement began on the island.
On Nov. 29, 2022, a total of 102 organizations in Puerto Rico officially registered with the movement and participated in the Global Day of Generosity and Solidarity.
“We greatly appreciate the people’s support of the nonprofit sector. Every year more people join this global movement of generosity and for us, being able to contribute to the well-being of nonprofit organizations in this archipelago is our reason for being,” said Gionira Blanco-Hernández, president of the Alianza para el Desarrollo del Tercer Sector Puertorriqueño, the legal entity that represents GivingTuesday on the island.
“In GivingTuesday, more than [being] a day of making donations, we promote a day full of generosity when you can also donate your time by being a volunteer, your voice to publicize causes, in short, contribute to improve our island,” she said.
Meanwhile, Alexandra López-Soler, Evertec’s chief marketing officer, said, “ATH Móvil has been one of the main collection methods for organizations on the island. This is the fourth consecutive time that ATH Móvil is part of the Giving Tuesday movement in Puerto Rico and through its ‘Donate’ feature it continues to make it easier for nonprofit organizations to obtain funds easily, quickly, and safely, contributing to sustaining their operations.”
“We’re pleased to see how our technology and innovation serve to demonstrate the great generosity of our people,” she said.
