POPTIENDAS

Hispanic Federation will soon announce the second round of the Small Business Revitalization Program “PopTiendas” Initiative, part of its UNIDOS Disaster Relief and Recovery Program.

With a budget of over $1M available, the goal of this initiative is the donation of eco-friendly steel shipping containers specially adapted for use as shops (commercial establishments) to help in the renovation or startup of retail businesses and services in Puerto Rico.

Hispanic Federation recognizes that small businesses are the economic engine of our communities, that is why the goal of PopTiendas is to support economic recovery efforts on the island by helping small business owners and non-profit organizations restart their operations.

Additionally, the program seeks to boost entrepreneurial spirit in Puerto Rico by granting PopTiendas to individuals who wish to start new business as well as to community-based, non-profit organizations.

PopTiendas measure 8’ x 20’. This format offers an environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient commercial space for different types of businesses and community projects in Puerto Rico.

The PopTienda initiative is made possible in part thanks to the generous additional support of Coca-Cola Company and Prudential Financial, Inc.

We will soon announce next steps for applicants in the second round of PopTienda donations.
