Why This Moment Matters
Puerto Rico's nonprofit sector continues to expand rapidly — addressing everything from food insecurity and education to sustainability and community development. Yet, many organizations still struggle with capacity, metrics, and funding.
"This NPO Leadership summit is about team, proven growth systems," said Michael Perog, Founder of I Choose. I AM!. "When one nonprofit learns to measure and grow effectively, every community they serve benefits. Each organization becomes a water drop — creating ripples of positive impact that spread across the island and globally."
Following this October event, the work will continue in January 2026, when the group reconvenes to on zoom to share real-world case studies demonstrating measurable community progress. There are cash prizes for the top 3 winning NPOs case studies. Also in 2026, Integro Foundation and I Choose. I AM! will launch a live lunch and learn training to match the on line 6 family learning modules empowering families to strengthen unity, communication, and goal-setting at home.
