We implemented the Municipal Innovation Lab, our flagship initiative to engage elected officials and promote good governance through innovation and participatory processes. Major accomplishments included: Conducted governance assessments in five pilot municipalities using La Liga's Ten Standards of Good Governance and improved evaluation tools based on feedback from local officials. Redesigned and implemented the Municipal Innovation Plan. This included two components: a case study to showcase municipal innovation and an action plan to systematically mobilize innovation at the local level. Continued development of La Constructora to adapt to evolving political and fiscal contexts. As part of this initiative, we submitted two Community Change grant proposals totaling approximately 21 million dollars to support participatory innovation in 15 municipalities. Maintained and updated the Federal Funding Navigation Tool with current opportunities, and began evaluating its design to better align with federal funding strategies for Puerto Rico. Integrated a Municipal Transparency Diagnostic, developed in partnership with Sembrando Sentido, into the Lab's structure to help municipalities advance along the transparency continuum. Continued our capacity-building efforts through the ICAMU training series, aimed at municipal leaders, communities, and organizations on topics related to municipal innovation. Continued producing our radio program "Agenda Municipal and began redesigning it as a podcast with a more strategic communication approach to promote municipalism in Puerto Rico. Operational strengthening was also a key focus. Investments in personnel, office infrastructure, and cross-departmental coordination were essential to maintaining operational capacity. Partnerships with organizations such as the Center for Habitat Reconstruction and Sembrando Sentido enhanced our ability to share knowledge and resources. This funding enabled us to deepen our commitment to systems transformation through municipalism, strengthen our role as a strategic partner to local governments, and scale democratic governance and community resilience innovations. 0 0 0 1559118 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 12 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Liga de Ciudades de Puerto Rico Inc 7874086394 220 Calle Manuel Domenech Unit 764 San Juan PR 00918 JUAN GARCIA PADILLA DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 BERNALDO J MARQUEZ GARCIA DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 JOSEAN SANTIAGO DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 ROSACHELY RIVERA SANTANA DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 PEDRO J GARCIA FIGUEROA DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 JESUS COLON BERLINGERI DIRECTOR 1 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1591220 5360 1591220 0 603 603 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1591823 603 0 0 X 204372 204372 516619 431512 75856 9251 60008 50445 8657 906 83332 68991 14341 15015 15015 10800 10800 0 691923 691923 0 0 63028 52842 9493 693 7625 3813 3431 381 20983 20983 7221 3611 3249 361 assistance and donations 1593 0 797 796 OTHER EXPENSES 21348 4811 12328 4209 1703867 1559118 128152 16597 169355 199919 81129 23420 8199 13350 15221 29007 263834 244147 29537 26820 0 56357 X 263834 187790 0 0 263834 187790 263834 244147 -112044 0 0 0 36000 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1149462 1591220 2740682 0 0 0 1149462 1591220 2740682 2740682 261 603 864 2741546 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23420 8199 15221 0 0 0 0 15221 RIGHT OF USE ASSET 26820 OTHER ASSETS 2187 29007 0 LEASE LIABILITY 26820 26820 1591823 0 0 0 0 0 1591823 0 0 0 1591823 1703867 0 0 0 0 0 1703867 0 0 0 1703867 1 CENTRO PARA LA RECONSTRUCCION DEL HABITAT CALLE JORDAN 704 SAN JUAN PR RQ 00909 660895294 100000 0 CASH VALUE To support the organization programs and general operations SEMBRANDO SENTIDO PO BOX 9023191 SAN JUAN PR 00902 660919539 100000 CASH VALUE To support the organization programs and general operations 0 2 Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 We require organizations that receive funding from us to sign a simple agreement that clearly states how the funds should be used.
