Sobre nosotros
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.

When you invest in the correct projects, the change is inevitable. This is the story of the communities that surround Villa Prades in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is the story of Oasis. ✨ Oasis is a project born from the dreams of many children, young people, and their families, who longed for a future with more opportunities. Over the past six years, these same families have actively participated in designing an ideal space that will provide the support services needed to achieve economic mobility. Today, Oasis is their dream come true, and with this first step, we are transforming not just their communities, but all of Puerto Rico. Oasis reflects their hopes and represents the beginning of a future full of opportunities for all generations. Families dreamed of a place where their children could learn, grow, and have real opportunities to succeed. Today, that dream is taking shape. #Oasis is the solution where every family will have the tools to break the cycle of poverty. The collaboration between Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico, Vimenti, Vidalús Community Health Clinic, Instituto del Desarrollo de la Juventud IDJ, and Project Makers has been essential in creating the foundation of the Oasis project, providing comprehensive support in education, health, youth development, and entrepreneurship. These organizations have proven their models for economic mobility for families. Platform for Social Impact continues its mission to connect capital with these efforts, ensuring that more families can access real opportunities to escape poverty and build a sustainable future.

Blended finance is a powerful tool for achieving social impact. We use this model to combine resources from banks, governmental entities, and philanthropic foundations, both local and international. This approach maximizes the impact of each dollar invested, driving significant change in underserved communities.

This bold move underscores LISC’s commitment to fostering economic mobility and supporting underserved communities.
