Liberty Foundation marks its 2024 socioeconomic impact in the USVI with $77,500 in donations, grants, and sponsorships for 17 nonprofits. Overall, Liberty and Liberty Foundation have benefited 27 USVI nonprofit organizations with $416,000 in donations since 2020.
Liberty Foundation, along with Liberty, empowered 17 nonprofit organizations in the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) to continue offering their programs for underserved populations. This was possible thanks to the $77,500 they provided in donations, grants, and sponsorships during 2024, bringing the overall donation to $416,000 for 27 nonprofits since 2020. The foundation presented this information in its 2024 USVI Impact Report which was released this week.
“Creating meaningful connections helps us build stronger communities. In the U.S. Virgin Islands, we have had the privilege of partnering with nonprofit organizations that are transforming the lives of children, youth, adults by offering them programs and services in the areas of education, social well-being and health, art, and environmental protection,” said Ravindra Maywahlall, general manager of Liberty VI. “While we have had some of these alliances for several years, we are very excited about new partnerships that we know will have a positive impact on the socio-economic development of our islands.”
In addition to making financial contributions, Liberty VI encourages its employees to participate in Liberty Foundation’s volunteer program. Last year, a total of 19 employees logged nearly 100 volunteer work hours in five nonprofit organizations in the USVI.
“The challenges faced by vulnerable populations are diverse and complex. That is why we firmly believe in the power of collaboration between the public sector, private sector, and nonprofit organizations,” said Yadira Valdivia, Liberty Foundation’s executive director. “Working together with an integrated approach allows us to strengthen our initiatives and ensure that our efforts are sustainable and generate a real impact on the well-being of the population, as well as socioeconomic development.”
Since it was formally established in 2017, Liberty Foundation continues to make a positive impact on the lives of children, youth, and adults by supporting nonprofit organizations that provide direct services and opportunities in critical areas such as education, social well-being and health, the arts, and environmental protection.
