We are a group of Puerto Ricans and friends living in different parts of the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area. Regardless, Puerto Rico is our home. We created this campaign that evolved into a non-profit organization: 'Cincinnati for PR' to help PR rise from the damages that hurricane Irma and Maria have left on the island. A lot of us cannot travel to PR to help, so we are going to m
ake every effort to gather all that we can, and send it! However, we cant do this alone, WE NEEED YOUR HELP! We are working with organizations based in Puerto Rico to ensure help gets delivered where its needed right away! In Cincinnati, Ohio, we are working in setting up larger events to make things happen quickly. Phase #1 consisted on collecting donated goods and organizing them to get them ready to send them to Puerto Rico. Phase #2 consists of creating a committee and as a community planning events to fund-raise money to enable the long term recovery efforts that the island will be going through with volunteering trips, house rebuilding, and much more. Follow us on 'Cincinnati for PR' on Facebook. Let's help this tiny, but mighty, island rise above again! Cincinnati for PR has applied for Section 501(c)(3) status. If, as we are confident, Cincinnati for PR receives Section 501(c)(3) status, your contribution to Cincinnati for PR will, subject to applicable legal restrictions, be tax-deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes. Until the IRS recognizes Cincinnati for PR’s Section 501(c)(3) status, however, we cannot guarantee your contribution will be a tax-deductible charitable contribution.
