Proclaim Cuba

What Proclaim Cuba does

Proclaim Cuba is a 501(c)(3) Christian ministry operating under the legal name ELNAC (Empoderando Las Naciones), founded in 1991 and headquartered in Dallas, TX. Its functional mission is to serve Cuban churches and surrounding communities through evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, and integrated social programming, with a documented footprint of 550+ partner churches, 1,667 seminary students, 99 schools, and 5 medical clinics operating inside Cuba.

The organization's core "products" are non-commercial ministry and social services rather than technology products. Its platform architecture is relational and programmatic: a network of home churches, seminary training pipelines, and co-located education and healthcare services delivered through Cuban field staff and supported from Dallas. The Vision 2033 strategic plan formalizes a roadmap to scale to 700 home churches and establish Empowering Centers across all 16 Cuban provinces.

Its business model is donation-driven rather than commercial. Proclaim Cuba generates no equity or product revenue; funding flows from charitable contributions to support field operations, seminary scholarships, school subsidies, and clinic operations. The headcount is reported at 1-10 employees in the U.S. support function, while on-the-ground delivery in Cuba is executed through partner churches and local leaders. Governance is led by Executive Director Carlos Alamino (appointed January 2022), founder and Cuba-side President Carlos Alberto Alamino Álvarez, and board member Alfie Pino. No revenue figures, donor concentration metrics, or financial disclosures are available in the provided input.
