The contributions were presented at the annual Globalaw Americas Meeting (GLARM).
Donating to local charities is a fundamental component of Globalaw’s event programming. Representatives from selected nonprofits are invited to meet and network with Globalaw member firms, enabling them to increase awareness for their organizations and foster continued connections and engagement.

The Banco Popular Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for Puerto Ricans by promoting access to educational and self-management opportunities that foster excellence, ethics, and civic responsibility. Since 1979, the foundation has invested over $50 million in community impact projects and supported over 300 initiatives focused on education, community development, social investment and disaster response.
"I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Globalaw for their generous donation to our Foundation. It is incredibly motivating to know that we have the support of this organization as we work to fulfill our mission of improving the quality of life for Puerto Ricans through educational and community development initiatives. On behalf of the thousands of people impacted by our programs, thank you,” said Beatriz Polhamus, Banco Popular Foundation’s Executive Director.
