Dear NMF Friend,

We are pleased to share with you our 2021 Annual Report highlighting the resiliency of our New Mexico communities.

The New Mexico Foundation is grateful for all its partnerships with local and national foundations and with leaders in the communities we serve, to work together and support effective strategies to address statewide issues together. Together, we responded to community needs by mobilizing grants for community resilience.

In 2021, Foundation highlights included establishing the following new funds:

  • The Native American Recovery Fund Zone Grant (NARFZG) enables local, regional, and national funders to strategically support building capacity of Native American organizations in New Mexico. NARFZG focuses on five Areas of Focus in New Mexico: Family Economic Security, Health Systems, Local Food Systems, Opportunity Youth and Water Resilience.
  • HEAL (Healthy Entry for Asylee Lives) Fund to support New Mexico non-profits by providing vital flexible assistance to enable the provision of shelter, medical, socio-emotional services, transportation, interpretation, and legal representation, to vulnerable children, families and adults seeking asylum and refuge in the United States.
  • Broadband Equity Fund works with our Tribal, state, and philanthropic partners to help ensure broadband access and resources are available to communities throughout New Mexico. Broadband access can be life changing for those in the hardest-to-connect communities. Since March, 2021, the Broadband Collective has met on a monthly basis to plan and fundraise.

Our 2021 Annual Report shows the positive influence that NMF has in New Mexico. NMF continues to support our communities statewide through capacity building, leveraging of resources and grants to local non-profits, and investment in community projects. NMF distributed funding for a total of $2,850,000 in grants!

We look forward to another inspiring year in 2022, strengthening communities and building resiliency in the lives of people in New Mexico.

Respectfully,

Make a contribution and invest in a better New Mexico!
