Empower 100 nonprofits in the reconstruction of PR

Last Friday, August 12, we celebrated the First Summit of Non-Profit Organizations at the Verdanza Hotel. More than 2,000 local and international participants gathered with the sole purpose of connecting and strengthening the relationships in the sector through the development of alliances. On the event we had a variety of sessions there were Latin-Americans NPO tell their success stories, Estudios Tecnicos present relevant studies for the sector, the Resident Commissioner Hon. Jenniffer Gonzalez present a variety of funds for the nonprofits, the Foundation Panel talked about what they will be funding, and we end with structured dynamic of networking to promote the alliances in the sector.   Without a doubt, an event that we will have again in 2023.

We are running one of the IRS Vita Centers in Puerto Rico. There we guide people so that they can complete their federal return and obtain the Child Tax Credit. Which became available in Puerto Rico this year with the American Rescue Plan Act. At the same time, the CTC increased to $3,000 for each eligible dependent between 6 and 17 years of age, and to $3,600 for each eligible dependent 5 years of age or younger. This tax credit will be of great benefit to our country where the poverty rate exceeds 45%. Also the provision of this service will cause greatest impact because in the future this person can prepared their own and their communities tax return.

Thanks for helping those who help!
