Leap Social Enterprise Inc. is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal grant awards since July 8, 2019. The company primarily focuses on expanding educational opportunities through the development and replication of charter schools in Puerto Rico. Leap Social Enterprise Inc. has secured multiple grants from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Charter Schools Program. These grants aim to support the creation, expansion, and replication of high-quality charter schools, with a particular emphasis on STEM education and increasing educational access in underserved communities.

Through its federal grant awards, Leap Social Enterprise Inc. has undertaken several significant projects. In April 2024, the organization received a $15,553,442 grant to expand and replicate LEAP charter schools in Puerto Rico, with the goal of increasing educational opportunities for students in the region. This follows a similar grant awarded in April 2023 for the same purpose. Additionally, Leap Social Enterprise Inc. received funding in October 2020 for the STEM+E Academy of San Juan Charter School Development Program. Beyond education, the company has also engaged in environmental and community development work. In October 2023, Leap Social Enterprise Inc. was awarded a $500,000 cooperative agreement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to conduct brownfields assessment and revitalization activities in various areas of Puerto Rico, including Rio Piedras, Carolina, and the PR-198 corridor. This project involves environmental site assessments, cleanup planning, and community engagement to support the redevelopment of potentially contaminated properties.
