Lin-Manuel Miranda's commitment to bring 'Hamilton' to Puerto Rico inspires Oprah to donate $2,000,000 to help with rebuilding efforts and to revitalize cultural programs that have been stymied since Hurricane Maria, Hispanic Federation says.
The nonprofit organization, which focuses on supporting Hispanic communities through local, state and national advocacy efforts, said Monday that $1 million would go to the
fund — which helps the organization develop and implement programs to deal with the island's long-term needs., a grant program created by Miranda and his family to help artists and arts institutions in Puerto Rico promote arts on the island. Winfrey's contribution adds to the estimated $15 million Miranda was able to raise for the Flamboyan Arts Fund after reprising his leading role during awhich he created in 2015, in Puerto Rico in January.
"I wanted to join in the revitalization efforts of an island so rich in culture, beauty and heritage,” Winfrey said. “The needs of Puerto Rico and our fellow American citizens following the tragic hurricanes are still very real, and the work that has already been done by the Hispanic Federation, Flamboyan Arts Fund and other organizations on and off the island is long from over.”
