CRUSA is a private foundation, Costa Rica, independent, nonpartisan and nonprofit, which has two key strategic directions: support for projects under its four areas of concern (environment, education, science and technology and strategic capacity) and the managing and promoting far-reaching initiatives, partnerships and support networks.

In order to promote sustainable development in Costa Rica, CRUSA donates proceeds from its endowment, but also uses its financial strength, credibility and administrative capacity to leverage resources from others and promote the establishment of funds for projects and initiatives supported.
