Overview
The Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF) serves the Silicon Valley community. Following the devastating hurricane that hit Puerto Rico in September 2017, SVCF joined forces with the Puerto Rico Community Foundation in its efforts to raise funds for the Gift of Light Campaign for Puerto Rico. The campaign is intended to help in relief and rebuilding efforts through the establishment of relief hubs across the island. It includes the powering of up to 100 health clinics with solar-electric kits, so that they can once again become operational. Hurricane Maria is regarded as the worst natural disaster on record in Dominica and Puerto Rico; this grant will help assist those who were affected the most.
