Help The Tonight Show Support Puerto Rico
The Tonight Show and Jimmy saw so many cool parts of Puerto Rico, and all the ways that it’s thriving, during our special show filmed there. So much of that growth and rebuilding in the months since the devastation of Hurricane Maria is because of the hard work of small business owners.
Our partners at American Express have committed $250,000 dollars to the Hispanic Federation to help small businesses get back on their feet. Jimmy also made a donation there and to chef José Andrés' charity World Central Kitchen, which helps bring food and hope to communities.
Now it's your turn! If you'd like to help our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico, be a pal and donate to any of the following organizations:

How They Help: The goal of our UNIDOS Program is clear: to serve the immediate and long-term needs of families and communities in Puerto Rico.

Social Media: @FlamboyanFDN
How They Help: Award-winning composer, lyricist, and actor Lin-Manuel Miranda, his family, and Hamilton have partnered with the Flamboyan Foundation to create the Flamboyan Arts Fund. As critical components of Puerto Rico’s tourism, arts and culture are pivotal to the vitality and the economic recovery of the island.
This limited-term fund will be dedicated to supporting institutions, arts groups, and independent artists to ensure that the arts and culture continue to flourish through the rebuilding of Puerto Rico. Through this initiative, we will also advocate for public and private funding for the arts to ensure that momentum continues beyond the scope of the fund.
