A little more than six months after the passage of Hurricanes Irma and María through Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican company Commercial Equipment Finance Inc. (CEFI) has joined local recovery efforts through a number of initiatives on and outside the island.
The Center for American Progress has launched the “Puerto Rico Relief and Economic Policy Initiative,” a program that will focus on immediate-term hurricane response efforts for Puerto Rico, with an eye toward long-term planning, economic recovery, and solvency.
The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands (CFVI) is awarding $31,500 in grants to support a variety of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programs and projects within the U.S. Virgin Islands public schools and early childhood centers in the USVI.
