About Us
Our Organization:
Since 2012, the National Puerto Rican Association has been a beacon for Puerto Rican culture across the United States and the island, celebrating the rich intellectual and artistic traditions that have shaped our community. This year, we're embarking on our most ambitious campaign yet — and we need your support to make it happen.
What We're Building Together:
For over a decade, we've honored the legacies of visionaries like Eugenio María de Hostos and Ramón Emeterio Betances — thinkers who championed education, equality, and cultural pride. Their spirit lives on in everything we do, from vibrant cultural celebrations to educational programs that connect generations.
Arts & Culture Events:
We're planning at least two major events this year that will bring our community together to celebrate Puerto Rican music, art, literature, and history. These aren't just gatherings — they're moments of pride, connection, and cultural preservation.
Travel & Study Grants:
For the first time, we're launching a grant program specifically for Puerto Ricans in the diaspora. Whether it's funding research trips to the island, supporting cultural studies, or enabling educational opportunities, these grants will empower our community members to deepen their connection to their heritage.
