San Juan, Puerto Rico – Proyecto Olga Iglesias (OIP) proudly announces the receipt of a $10,000 donation from PRISA Group, a significant contribution that will directly strengthen fine arts programs and artistic development for talented Puerto Rican youth. This generous investment reflects both organizations’ shared commitment to educational excellence and the preservation of Puerto Rico’s cultural heritage.
A Natural Alliance Between Social Commitment and Artistic Excellence
PRISA Group’s donation aligns perfectly with their social responsibility philosophy, which includes a solid commitment to education and the arts through initiatives like the Arte_Fits Foundation, supporting local and international contemporary artists. This contribution to Proyecto Olga Iglesias represents a natural extension of their mission to create “communities and spaces built in harmony with the environment that foster a favorable climate for the development of an optimal and happy quality of life.”
Anthony Cheney Guzmán, Founder and Executive Director of Proyecto Olga Iglesias, expressed his profound gratitude: “This donation from PRISA Group comes at a crucial moment for our fine arts programs. Their support will allow us to expand our educational initiatives, provide more opportunities for emerging artists, and continue preserving our rich musical heritage. It’s inspiring to work with an organization that understands that investing in the arts is investing in Puerto Rico’s cultural future.”
Direct Impact on Artistic Development
The $10,000 donation will be specifically allocated to strengthening OIP’s fine arts programs, including:
- Expansion of the Olga Iglesias Fellowship Program, providing more scholarships and professional development opportunities for emerging artists
- Enhancement of educational programs such as La Batalla de los Clásicos (The Battle of the Classics), which connects classical music with public school students
- Digital preservation initiatives that document and archive Puerto Rican musical heritage
- Community outreach programs that bring music education to underserved communities
Corporate Commitment to Culture
PRISA Group, recognized for its sustainable developments and commitment to social responsibility, has consistently demonstrated its dedication to education and the arts. In addition to founding the independent private school TASIS Dorado in 2002 and offering the PRISA Scholar program with scholarships for employees’ children, the company has established a solid track record of supporting cultural and educational initiatives.
A PRISA Group representative commented on the donation: “At PRISA Group, we firmly believe that the arts are fundamental to the integral development of communities. Proyecto Olga Iglesias represents exactly the type of initiative we admire: an organization dedicated to preserving our cultural identity while cultivating talent for future generations. This donation reflects our continued commitment to educational excellence and Puerto Rico’s cultural development.”
Building Bridges Between Sectors
This collaboration between PRISA Group and Proyecto Olga Iglesias exemplifies how strategic partnerships between the private sector and cultural organizations can create lasting impact. The donation not only provides crucial financial resources but also establishes a model for other companies interested in supporting arts and education in Puerto Rico.
The contribution adds to a series of significant support that OIP has received from organizations committed to culture and education, including the Annette Urso Rickel Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and Fundación Ángel Ramos, creating a robust support ecosystem for Puerto Rican arts.
Looking Toward the Future
With this new investment, Proyecto Olga Iglesias continues strengthening its position as a leader in musical education and Puerto Rican cultural preservation. PRISA Group’s donation will enable the organization to implement new educational initiatives and expand its reach, ensuring that more young artists have access to high-quality professional development opportunities.
