Fundacion Americounsel Corp

Fundacion Americounsel Corp is a Puerto Rico-based minority-owned non-profit foundation registered with the federal government since March 2021. The organization serves as a prime awardee for federal grant funding focused on rural economic development and renewable energy initiatives. As a tax-exempt corporate entity with Hispanic American ownership, Fundacion Americounsel Corp leverages federal grant awards to advance sustainable economic development and support rural communities in Puerto Rico.

Since June 2024, Fundacion Americounsel Corp has received three prime federal grant awards totaling approximately $421,000 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Business Cooperative Services. The organization's grant-funded work encompasses three primary service areas: rural business development assistance, renewable energy implementation, and economic growth initiatives. Under the Rural Energy for America Program (REAP), a $150,000 project grant awarded in June 2024 supports the organization's implementation of renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements within its own operations over a 24-month period concluding June 2026. Two additional project grants awarded on September 29, 2025 demonstrate the organization's commitment to rural community support: a $271,000 Rural Business Development Grant (RBDG) for Disaster Recovery and a Rural Business Cooperative Enterprise Grant totaling $150,000, both extending through September 2027. These two-year initiatives enable Fundacion Americounsel Corp to provide technical assistance, business development services, and economic growth support to rural small businesses and communities characterized by low incomes and high unemployment, with explicit focus on job creation and preservation in designated rural areas throughout Puerto Rico.
