Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Professional organization that seeks to represent and advance the legal aspects of community-based and faith-based social enterprises committed to promoting the social economic development of Puerto Rico.

Activities or mission (Part I)

As a professional legal services organization, ALECI supports and strengthens community economic and social development with the purpose of promoting social change that achieves a sustainable, prosperous, democratic and supportive Puerto Rico.

  • This year, ALECI provided educational workshops and direct legal services to OSFL and Social Enterprises such as Comedores Sociales de Puerto Rico, BoriDoulas Inc, EcoRecursos Comunitarios Inc, Propiedad de Trabajadoras Costura Sin Límites, Instituto Socio-Económico Comunitario Inc, Crear con Salud, among others. Additionally, as a fiscal sponsor, it offered its services not only by facilitating access to donations but also by supporting beneficiaries in compliance and accountability processes with donors. This included organizations such as Iniciativa de Ecodesarrollo de Bahía Jobos (IDEBAJO) in Salinas, Finca Alvolante Inc in Las Marías, and the Instituto para la Investigación y Acción en Agroecología (IALA-PR) in San Juan. We also assisted in reviewing deeds and provided advice on purchase and sale processes, among other services, as part of the Acceso a Tierras campaign led by IALA-PR.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
