The Hamilton creator said he was inspired to help as the island continues to struggle to recover from Hurricane Maria. He touched down on Puerto Rico Sunday to make the announcement, explaining: “As someone whose life has been transformed by the power of the arts, and who has witnessed the incredible healing, growth, stability and well-being that cultural institutions can bring to local communities, I cannot stand idly by and watch Puerto Rico’s arts and culture scene suffer. And that is exactly why we have created the Flamboyan Arts Fund.” He is starting with the goal of raising $15 million, and has pledged the proceeds from an upcoming run of Hamilton in Puerto Rico (he is set to star).
