Mission

Recognizing the profound challenges faced by poverty-stricken communities in Puerto Rico, particularly in the Central to South areas, Awake to Dream is established to foster a self-sustained, eco-friendly community farm aimed at alleviating food insecurity, providing disaster relief, and empowering the local community through education, sustainable agriculture, and intentional living practices.

Programs

3 programs

Total Expenses: $9,790.50 Grants and Allocations to Others: $0 Revenue: $0 As we are a new charity formed in March 2024, this first year has been focused on establishing infrastructure for our programs. A core component of that work was launching a flexible, eco-conscious operational framework to support future outreach, land acquisition, and educational efforts. This initiative centered on designing and implementing a decentralized, low-impact logistical model. Resources were invested into renewable infrastructure including rechargeable batteries and solar solutions to ensure future program work can operate off-grid and in alignment with sustainable principles. In tandem with this, we began canvassing regions across Puerto Rico to identify strategic farm locations, build relationships with local stakeholders, and gather the necessary data to support our long-term community-based development goals. These early-stage efforts lay the groundwork for an efficient and environmentally responsible expansion of our mission.

Expenses: $10K

Program Service 3: Resilient Communications and Remote Access Systems Development Total Expenses: $4,790.54 Grants and Allocations to Others: $0 Revenue: $0 As we are a new charity formed in March 2024, this first year has been focused on establishing infrastructure for our programs. A key element of that infrastructure has been the development of a resilient communications and coordination hub to support our ongoing and future work throughout Puerto Rico. This program focused on securing essential communications systems and digital infrastructure to ensure continuity of operations in both off-grid and emergency contexts. Investments included satellite internet capabilities, remote access systems, and disaster-resilient hardware, all of which are critical for our work in rural areas with unreliable connectivity. While we await finalization of land acquisition, these systems are being structured into a three-stage implementation plan to allow for rapid scaling as our programs expand. This foundation enables Awake to Dream to remain agile, accessible, and operational across all phases of its mission work.

Expenses: $5K

Additional Program Service: Training and Development for Agricultural Leadership Total Expenses: $380.04 Grants and Allocations to Others: $0 Revenue: $0 As we are a new charity formed in March 2024, this first year has been focused on establishing infrastructure for our programs. As part of that effort, Awake to Dream invested in specialized training and certification for key personnel in the areas of permaculture, horticulture, and regenerative agricultural practices. These personal development initiatives are foundational for the launch of our upcoming community farm and education programs. The certifications obtained during this period will enable our team to offer high-quality, evidence-based training to local residents and volunteers, ensuring both the sustainability and credibility of future food security efforts across Puerto Rico.
