Platform for Social Impact

About Platform for Social Impact

Based in Puerto Rico, PSI’s mission is to foster economic mobility through the creation of employment opportunities and comprehensive training programs, and by ensuring access to education for children, as well as promoting health and wellness for families in need. Our innovative approach combines project support, strategic initiatives, partnerships, and a novel approach to philanthropic investment, making a tangible difference in communities and advancing our vision of a more equitable society. PSI employs a multi-faceted approach to achieve this mission: As a Social Incubator, we focus on addressing poverty via programs readily available and housed at our Oasis facility. As a Capital Manager, we attract philanthropic dollars for investment rather than donation, ensuring both a return on investment and a successful impact for communities, focusing on investors addressing child poverty. Through our public policy arm, we exert influence with policy makers in the fight against poverty. Impact to Date Over its tenure, PSI has evolved into the largest anti-poverty movement in Puerto Rico, annually impacting over 15,000 children and 3,000 low-income adults. PSI is at the forefront of addressing not only the immediate effects of poverty but also its long-term implications, exacerbated by natural disasters and economic challenges. Key Programs and Partnerships PSI's network includes notable organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico, the Youth Development Institute, Vimenti, and Project Makers. These affiliations underscore our comprehensive approach to socio-economic mobility for vulnerable families. PSI is a catalyst for change in Puerto Rico, embodying a movement that will tackle child and family poverty at scale through social innovation, quality education, advocacy, economic development, and impact investing. By focusing on children and families PSI not only impacts the present but secures a more prosperous future for Puerto Rico.
