On December 3, 2024, Puerto Rico participated in Giving Tuesday, addressing key social issues, including poverty alleviation, education, healthcare access, and disaster relief. Nonprofits, grassroots organizations, and corporate partners collaborated to drive donations and mobilize volunteers in an unprecedented effort.

Over 50 students received scholarships and school supplies.

Mobile clinics also offered free medical check-ups and vaccinations to over 10,000 residents.

Mental health awareness campaigns reached thousands through online and in-person workshops

Local businesses and multinational corporations contributed significantly through matching donations, in-kind support, and volunteerism. Social media campaigns amplified outreach efforts, encouraging a culture of giving among Puerto Ricans on the island and in the diaspora.
