The Team
A snapshot of the dedicated team behind Fundacion 23—committed individuals working tirelessly to uphold the organization’s integrity and ensure that every donation reaches families and nursing homes in the Dominican Republic.
Derling Polanco Rosario
President and Founder
Derling Polanco Rosario was born in the Dominican Republic and has always had a heart for helping others. As a child, he was involved in charity work through the Church while also discovering his passion for music. His career as a DJ took him to many places, from the U.S. to the Caribbean and beyond, where he met people from all walks of life.
Living in different countries and experiencing different cultures opened his eyes to the struggles many communities face. It also showed him the power of kindness, connection, and giving back.
In 2025, he founded Fundacion 23 to support people in need in the Dominican Republic by providing food, medical aid, and educational programs. For Derling, helping others isn’t just something he does—it’s part of who he is.
