Since 1983, people from all walks of life have come together through New Mexico Community Foundation to serve and invest in New Mexico’s communities and their most important asset … people. Nearly a quarter century in practice, these acts of giving have laid the groundwork for overcoming inequity, strengthening communities, and improving life for all in New Mexico. We support diverse, innovative projects that are inspired, driven and empowered by the communities they serve. We also aim to achieve long-term solutions, often involving advocacy projects for positive policy and systems change. We are committed to connecting and engaging people in effective public/private partnerships. While every partner’s path of giving and leadership is unique, a shared set of priorities unite us in this journey. For the future of this state, New Mexico Community Foundation is committed to building resources and making grants that:

4

Provide opportunity Improving educational opportunities for all children and youth, expanding equitable access to quality healthcare, engaging the growing elderly population and addressing basic human needs.

Promote culture Preserving the arts of New Mexico’s diverse people, transmitting gifts of the past to younger generations, exposing residents and visitors to the contributions of New Mexicans, nurturing the artists of today and tomorrow, and increasing access to the arts for all.

Protect environment Promoting conservation, preserving natural ecosystems, and safeguarding air quality and the water supply.

Pursue equity Encouraging the development of sustainable livelihoods, cultivating community-based economic solutions, expanding the pool of resources for rural families, and increasing entrepreneurial and leadership skills.

From January 2006 through June 2007, New Mexico Community Foundation awarded more than $7.1 million in grants throughout our state. This report contains stories about the people and programs involved in the power of collective investment and action. In these pages, we believe you’ll find evidence of progress—and inspiration for the path that lies ahead. This report describes hundreds of worthwhile grants and lists the hundreds of donors who were part of growing our future, together, this past year. Thank you for your role in making this work possible.

We have promising plans for the future. Some donors and national foundations are offering incentives to match new charitable gifts to grow our unrestricted Community Fund, support student success, and stimulate investment within currently disadvantaged communities. During the next three to five years, we plan to double our grants and assets. Our state is vast, and our opportunities are limitless. We want to invite you to leverage your gift with the gifts of others and grow our future, together.

joining hands for children Supporting Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids (NM SPARK)

Ready children. Ready schools. Ready communities. These are the goals of a national initiative at work in New Mexico with guidance from a home-grown approach and caring adults in six local communities. By finding better ways to communicate and connect, program participants want to ensure children make a lowstress, high-success transition from preschool to kindergarten and elementary school. New Mexico Supporting Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids (NM SPARK) is a New Mexico Community Foundation initiative with funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Daniels Fund, the McCune Charitable Foundation, the J.F Maddox Foundation, the Brindle Foundation, the Thornburg Charitable Foundation, and from other individual NMCF donor partners. The program utilizes Joining Hands, an approach co-developed and piloted by several New Mexican communities and the state Head Start organization almost a decade ago.

Every local site has a Joining Hands Team that may include school administrators, pre-elementary/early childhood program providers,

kindergarten teachers, first-grade teachers, social/emotional service providers, and families. The teams set local strategies, implement their plans, measure outcomes, and share lessons learned across the NM SPARK sites: Albuquerque, Doña Ana/Chaparral, Española, Hobbs, the Pueblo of Laguna and San Juan County. “Joining Hands really helps us know how we can help each other,” says one involved teacher. In the Pueblo of Laguna, the Joining Hands Team provided teachers with training and strategies for making pre-kindergarten home visits. As families welcome teachers into their homes, they provide a safe, comfortable place for student-teacher bonding and affirm the teachers’ role through their hospitality. A Joining Hands Team’s purchase of math kits for K-5 students inspired one Albuquerque principal to buy an age-appropriate kit that helps preschoolers grasp simple math concepts, preparing them for future studies.

Because quality teachers are essential to positive early educational experiences, NM SPARK has also fostered the development of T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood New Mexico, a program that offers scholarships to support the professional development of educators—at least four providers at each NM SPARK have since attained their bachelor’s degrees. NM SPARK’s funding of 35 T.E.A.C.H. NM scholarships prompted the state of New Mexico to fund 17 more.

In 2002, Jerry contributed to the early planning and developmental steps of the NM SPARK program, now beginning its fifth successful year. He was elected to the New Mexico Senate in 2005; during his first two years in office, he has served as a strong advocate for the disadvantaged.

In Service to Community Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino has lived a life of dedication to growing New Mexico’s future. He grew up in Santa Fe, where his family has been involved in public service since the early 1930s.

PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY

NM SPARK makes key connections among families, educators and community institutions, thereby investing in the social, emotional and academic development of the state’s youngest residents.

Jerry graduated from University of New Mexico in 1964 with a major in Latin American Studies and went on to study social work at Tulane University in New Orleans. After graduate school, he returned to New Mexico where he played a variety of community-building roles around the state. In 1997, Jerry received New Mexico Community Foundation’s Community Luminaria award for inspiring community service.

not finishing school,” he said. “The biggest challenge is not the kids, but the schools. How does that change? Schools need to be flexible enough to change and adapt to change. NM SPARK’s Joining Hands starts that change.” Jerry sees NMCF as a means for introducing resources and innovative strategies that create change in the state. In his words, “Long after the funding of NM SPARK ends, its effects will be felt, and it is one of the many ways NMCF is helping grow New Mexico’s future.” 7

helping youth succeed New Mexico Integrated Services in Schools Initiative (NMISSI)

Almost 3,000 students from lowincome families will have a greater opportunity to succeed. A new community program will begin integrating education, healthcare and family supports as never before in New Mexico—with middle school students and their families at the center. Education Secretary Veronica Garcia and Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish celebrating the $20 million NMISSI grant announcement

PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY

NMISSI’s comprehensive approach is expected to lead to better learning and health outcomes and a stronger basis for success in middle school and beyond.

8

New Mexico Integrated Services in Schools Initiative (NMISSI) is made possible by a $20 million grant distributed over four years that The Atlantic Philanthropies awarded to New Mexico Community Foundation. This grant is the result of extensive planning and collaboration by a wide spectrum of partners that includes Governor Richardson and Lieutenant Governor Denish, the Children’s Cabinet, New Mexico Community Foundation, county governments, school systems and educators, and a range of nonprofit service providers.

Five New Mexico communities are launching NMISSI in their middle schools in fall 2007: Grant Middle School, Wilson Middle School and Native American Community Academy (NACA) in Albuquerque; Laguna Middle School in the Pueblo of Laguna; and Gadsden Middle School in Anthony. These middle schools share a set of characteristics making them prime candidates for NMISSI: strong school leadership, diverse students, and resilient families in need. NMISSI’s approach is based on a proven program of connected services: 1) extended-day learning, 2) comprehensive school-based healthcare, and 3) family support services that improve access to public benefits and provide trained adult mentors for students.

Families Initiative NM SPARK and NMISSI are part of NMCF’s Strengthening New Mexico’s Families Initiative,

New Mexico Community Foundation is dedicated to the success of this initiative and has provided the support of five site managers and an initiative director—all focused on ensuring that the program is well-implemented and guided by engaged communities. Renee Paisano-Trujillo, NMISSI director and NMCF staff member, says those involved are excited to be “writing a recipe for success and replication” throughout the state of New Mexico and beyond.

effort focused on positive youth development and systems change that helps youth participate fully in civic life and grow into healthy, contributing adults. The NMCF Youth Initiative is supported with funding from our partner foundations, including the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the McCune Charitable Foundation, the Charles Steward Mott Foundation, the William Randolf Hearst Foundation and the Surdna Foundation.

Irene Oliver Lewis is a Las Cruces native who has worked in theatre arts and humanities in New Mexico for more than 25 years as a producer, director, storyteller, writer and arts advocate. Irene was given her first opportunity to be involved in theatre arts for youth by her professor Marge Gilbert in the late 1970s. During the Las Cruces Community Theatre production of “East of Sun, West of Moon,” Irene observed the truthfulness and authentic energy of the children involved in the play and greatly enjoyed working with them. Later, she worked in Artisan Residence, a non-traditional art setting. Through these experiences, Irene learned that she wanted to build a career around working with youth. Irene is currently the executive director and artistic producer at the Alma d’Arte Charter High School, a part of the Court

Youth Center’s Alma d’Arte Charter High School. She repeats it when asked why New Mexico Community Foundation supports the program. In 1999, New Mexico Community Foundation presented a Luminaria Award to the Court Youth Center as an exceptional and inspiring program for positive youth development in New Mexico. In 2005, Court Youth Center opened an agency endowment fund with NMCF. In 2006, Irene received one of nine New Mexico Governor’s Awards for Excellence in Arts. In 2007, she was nominated and elected to NMCF board of directors. Irene says she believes that “NMCF can become an even stronger force in growing the future, together, in southern New Mexico, and it is exciting to be a part of that collaborative work of art.” 9

celebrating community and creativity The Border Book Festival

P R O M O T I N G C U LT U R E

With its inspired event and programs, the Border Book Festival is writing a new story about the power of people and place and the rewards that come only from working together. NMCF is honored to be part of this story. Giant puppets lend personality to the Border Book Festival’s Children and Pet Parade in La Mesilla

14

A parade of children, pets and giant puppets—where every child who participates receives a free book. A writing workshop with school children conducted by a young author sharing her immigrant story. An evening-long presentation by peace-loving poets. Standing ovations for a concert performance by Perla Batalla. A plática (discussion) about ancient agriculture. A premio (award) for Sandra Cisneros, author of Caramelo and The House on Mango Street. All of these activities were part of the 13th annual Border Book Festival held in April 2007 in Mesilla, New Mexico. The three-day event gathered thousands of people to celebrate literature and literacy in New Mexico’s border towns. Made possible by broad community involvement and investment by local and national funders including New Mexico Community Foundation, the festival is a living expression of philanthropy’s potential to bring people together. Each year, the Border Book Festival transforms the Mesilla Plaza into a stimulating hub of culture and learning. Visitors attend readings by

well-loved authors, get creative in workshops, and find inspiration in a host of musical and theatrical events. “The Border Book Festival believes that literature and the arts can transcend the many perceived borders that divide our communities,” says Denise Chavez, director of the Border Book Festival. The festival is the culmination of a year-long reading and arts program headquartered at the Community Center de Mesilla and extending to Las Cruces and other communities along New Mexico’s southern border. The program brings authors into schools and children’s workshops, helps young people work out some of the stresses of border life through writing, and infuses Head Start and elementary school programs with creative, hands-on experiences. For the past decade, New Mexico Community Foundation has collaborated with the Border Book Festival to raise funds for its wellattended event, which generates funding for its year-round operations. “NMCF has been a catalyst, a sounding board and a padrino in the truest sense,” says Chavez.

The gallery provides Dan and his family—Frances, Arlo, Michael and Nicole—a way to honor and share the creativity of New Mexico. Through the gallery and other gifts, members of the Namingha family have supported aspects of community life most important to them, including families and children, arts and culture, and the environment.

renewing community through development Picuris Pueblo Bison Project

PURSUING EQUITY

Beyond the restoration of a traditional food source and an iconic element of the tribal lands, the Bison Project represents one community’s pursuit of economic, cultural and environmental sustainability.

16

At 4 a.m. on Thursday and Saturday mornings, Danny Sam is loading bison meat and other goods into a truck to prepare his wife Jonette for a day of sales at farmer’s markets in Santa Fe and Los Alamos, as well as sales to the Hotel Santa Fe. Danny spends the rest of his time tending hay fields and a growing herd of bison. With support from New Mexico Community Foundation, the national Intertribal Bison Cooperative, other funding partners and volunteers from the Pueblo of Picuris, the Sam family is reclaiming a traditional food source for the tribal community and building a culture-centered economy. Jonette values NMCF’s role as a statewide community foundation. “They’re always bringing potential funders up to look at our project,” she says. The Sams’ children, Daniel and Maria, help clear brush, feed bison, and handle some of the administrative tasks required to run the business. Members of the Picuris community are hired and receive on-the-job training in fence construction,

equipment use and maintenance, and brain-tanning of bison hides. Danny also helps workers learn horsemanship and horse-shoeing—skills they need to check fence lines after wind storms. “Our main goal,” says Danny, “is to develop a sustainable food source for the tribe. We’re opening some doors for younger generations that might become interested in bison ranching.” Bison meat is a lean, low-cholesterol, high-protein alternative to beef with a good balance of essential fatty acids. The Bison Project regularly distributes meat throughout the tribal community and donates it to events, including a New Mexico Environmental Law Center fundraising banquet for the Navajo Nations’ fight against uranium mining. The Sam family takes part in a monthly Diabetes Food Fair, raising awareness of changes in the Native American diet that have led to diabetes, heart disease and childhood obesity.

There, the Sams also demonstrate ways to cook bison meat and share recipes and samples. Picuris tribal members utilize bison hides, meat and horns for feasts and ceremonial purposes. The Bison Project has also provided its products to other tribes within the state, helping those without their own herds maintain an important spiritual connection with this native animal. The Picuris Bison Project collaborates with the Pueblo’s environment department and forestry program. As a result of this relationship, the Bison Project is carefully replanting native grasses for bison grazing as invasive tree species are cleared away. The Project is also exploring the use of fungus as a bison feed supplement and as a natural method for composting tree stumps. In 10 years, the Sams hope to establish 3,000 acres of bison habitat and more than double their herd size, now at approximately 75 head. Growth is steady. In 2005, the Picuris Bison Project applied for and received 21 surplus bison from the Badlands

National Park in South Dakota. In 2006, the Picuris Bison Project harvested 3,000 bales of hay, neared completion of a 575-acre fence that will expand its bison habitat, and generated meat sales to cover the costs for meat production and some of the salary for its workers. Together, the Pueblo of Picuris and its partners are looking to the past to build a stronger, healthier future.

The Olga Domínguez Memorial Fund provides grants to nonprofit organizations working to help women living with breast cancer as the legacy of a loving mother, grandmother and wife. Olga’s determined spirit, courage and life-affirming convictions are the inspiration for this fund. Doctors called her “the miracle lady” because of the strength she demonstrated while living with breast cancer for 22 years. Born in Cuba, Olga was the youngest daughter of Lebanese immigrants. She immigrated to Spain with her family in 1970 and then to the United States in 1973. With few resources and connections, and a lack of access to healthcare, these transitions were difficult for Olga’s family.

increase breast cancer survival rates significantly, such as access to medical care, early detection and support. Because even today certain populations experience a disproportionate of cancer mortality relative to incidence, the fund has a strong focus on immigrant and women of color. The Olga Dominquez Memorial Fund will award its first grant to the Anita Salas Fund to cover costs for women throughout New Mexico who are screened by the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program and Lovelace Health Systems. Through the program, costs associated with providing critical medical care and screenings are covered, making the impact of the grant immediate, direct and life changing for women.

growing stewardship Gila River Discovery Trunk Project

Hundreds of grade school students will soon open special trunks—and discover the natural and cultural treasures of New Mexico’s last free-flowing river, the Gila. This unique opportunity is the result of a collaboration among people who care about protecting precious natural resources for generations to come. “We’re working together to educate the next generation of stewards for the Gila—a vital asset to our communities, our culture, and our environment.”

Gila River is a major waterway for New Mexico that begins north of Silver City and runs west into the Colorado River

20

says Melanie Gasparich, executive director of the Upper Gila Watershed Alliance, an organization that is partnering with the Gila Conservation Coalition and the Gila Conservation Education Center to design and implement the Discovery Trunk project.

A grant from a New Mexico Community Foundation donor advised fund is supporting curriculum design, volunteer development and transportation. The collaborative will fill two trunks and a field trip kit with materials used to build environmental literacy and help children understand the interrelationships between the Gila River and the people and wildlife that rely on it for sustenance and habitat. The trunks will be used in a projected 30 hands-on presentations to approximately 600 students enrolled in grades three to five in the Silver and Cobre Consolidated school districts of southwestern New Mexico. Fifteen to 20 adult and high-schoolage volunteers will receive training to share each trunk in the classroom and prepare students and their teachers to embark on carefully developed lesson plans that align with national standardized testing requirements for science and social studies education.

to protecting New Mexico’s communities and their environments through education, legislative initiatives, negotiations and litigation.

As third- and fourth-graders gain exposure to the river through field trips, they will create a foundation for more extensive water qualityrelated activities in their fifth-grade year via the Children’s Water Festival.

When Renee sold her ranch recently, she used some of the proceeds to establish a permanent endowment fund, designated to the Law Center, at New Mexico Community Foundation. Renee Ingold

Strategic Giving

PROTECTING ENVIRONMENT

By opening trunks and classroom doors, partners in the Gila River Discovery Trunk Project are helping children get acquainted and involved in the Gila—an important treasure in the world they will inherit.

Renee Ingold’s relationship with the New Mexico Environmental Law Center began at the bottom of a well. Twenty years ago, the drinking water at her home and horse ranch was threatened by the building of a gold mine nearby. Renee joined a citizen movement that, with the Law Center’s help, achieved a model mine cleanup and state legislation that requires mining companies to restore lands and waters affected by their activities. “The Law Center has been fighting ever since to uphold the laws,” says Renee, who is now a six-year member of the Law Center’s board. She values the organization’s nonpartisan approach

“I really wanted that money to work,” she says. Her gift has given the Law Center access to NMCF’s investment expertise, as well as a permanent stream of funding.

“In the long term,” says Renee, “this gift will contribute to the Law Center’s strategic planning and make fundraising easier.” Renee, the Law Center and NMCF are working together to develop a matching grant incentive to inspire other donors to support the Law Center and grow its endowment. “It’s important to have something coming, on into the future—beyond me,” says Renee. Already, she has created a legacy of cleaner water, fresher air, and resources that will never run dry. 21

Dotty Davis

The Community Fund At age 15, Dotty Davis traveled through South America, Africa and Asia with her aunt and uncle. Their months-long journey opened Dotty’s eyes to human need. Since then, Dotty has given her time and treasure in gratitude for a comfortable life. Her philanthropy has included support for an international development fund; Mount Holyoke College, her alma mater; and the Santa Fe Desert Chorale. As a former school teacher, she is passionate about education. And, as a real estate broker for 25 years, Dotty enjoys helping lowincome families find affordable homes. In the 1990s, she also served on the board of Sustainable Communities, Inc.

In recent years, Dotty has involved New Mexico Community Foundation in her philanthropy and has become a member of NMCF’s Legacy Circle.

“I like the statewide mission and the focus on early childhood and youth. This community foundation has a big vision.” She chooses to give to NMCF’s unrestricted Community Fund because, she says, “I take the long view. Things change, so you need flexibility. I’m giving the staff an opportunity to refocus as needs change from time to time.” To Dotty, setting an example for future philanthropists is critically important. Her own early experiences kindled a lifetime of giving. With her visionary gifts, she hopes to open up eyes—and possibilities—for generations to come.

Bill and Stephanie Lyon

Family Giving Values The Lyon Family Fund is a wonderful example of building a legacy for New Mexico at New Mexico Community Foundation. Bill Lyon grew up in El Paso and spent many summers in New Mexico. He met Stephanie, his future wife, in New Jersey. Together, they raised a family, hoping to move to the Southwest one day. In 1996, Stephanie and Bill made the move to New Mexico. Soon, they learned of New Mexico Community Foundation’s work with rural communities, partnerships with local organizations and role in addressing statewide concerns. In time, they became NMCF donors and committed volunteers. Bill is a firm believer in the benefits of donor advised funds for both individuals and corporations. He helped his employer, Prediction Company, create a fund supporting local education initiatives. 26

Jessica Cassirer

Bill and Stephanie are now major contributors to NMCF’s Community Fund, a fund that builds unrestricted resources for New Mexico in perpetuity. They have also established the Lyon Family Fund, a permanent donor advised fund. Daughters Elizabeth and Michele participate in the Lyon Family Fund as a way to bring the vision of the next generation into community solutions.

“We have been growing as a family,” says Stephanie, “and NMCF has continued to mirror our interests in short- and longterm solutions to better the lives of all New Mexicans.” Stephanie and Bill have made NMCF part of their planned giving to create a lasting legacy of community impact. In partnership with NMCF, the Lyons are sharing family giving values—and investing in New Mexico’s greatest asset… people.

Featured Donor and Community Advised Fund Grants Lions Crane Reading Program Indigenous Language Institute Talking Talons El Centro de Igualdad y Derecho

Advised funds provide an opportunity for an individual (donor advised) or a group of individuals (community advised) to connect dollars with high impact programs. Donors recommend grants—anonymously if they wish—to nonprofit organizations that support their community interests and personal passions. NMCF can advise on the most effective use of the funds, manage grants and track each project’s performance. Through donor advised and community advised funds at New Mexico Community Foundation, individuals and groups are advancing key priorities for our state—growing our future, together.

David describes himself as a “father, philanthropist, activist and investor” who has dedicated much of his life to social and environmental justice solutions for our communities. He has helped to establish numerous foundations and organizations addressing tough challenges both local and global. David also practices “venture philanthropy” by supporting new and developing organizations focused on creating systemic change. David brings his social concerns to the capital markets and invests for long-term sustainable economic development. David has great appreciation for the diverse community, culture and natural beauty of New Mexico. He also

understands the fragility of nature and believes in the protection of New Mexico’s land and water for future generations.

David is establishing a family foundation at NMCF because, he says, “My children and grandchildren are going to inherit the environment we leave behind, and I want them to have resources to support philanthropic solutions.” As a partner, David values New Mexico Community Foundation’s access to diverse communities, support of proven solutions as well as innovative programs, responsive approach to donors’ needs, and commitment to creating a brighter future for New Mexico, its people and our global neighborhood. 29

Advised and Designated Funds New Mexico Community AIDS Partnership Thousands of New Mexicans are living with AIDS or HIV. Groups facing heightened risk now include women at the margins of society and young Hispanic men. Each year, the New Mexico Community AIDS Partnership (NMCAP) identifies significant needs and capable organizations—and mobilizes resources where they are needed most in our state’s fight against the epidemic. NMCAP was established in 1993 as a fund of New Mexico Community Foundation and is led by an advisory board representing people living with AIDS and HIV, healthcare providers, donors, and business partners. Each year, the Partnership attracts more than $100,000 through its affiliation with the National AIDS Fund and from other sources, granting these resources to organizations on the leading edge of AIDS prevention and treatment in the state.

NMCF Fiscal Sponsorships Santa Fe Science Initiative

Students in Santa Fe enjoy a hands-on science experience

Elementary students and teachers in Santa Fe are finding new strengths in science through the Santa Fe Science Initiative sponsored by New Mexico Community Foundation. Participating students learn the scientific method of inquiry and use it to grow in knowledge and confidence. Many become interested in science courses in middle and high school, opening doors to future careers in math and science. Participating teachers hone their science acumen, learn ways to integrate literacy and math with science curriculum, and enrich textbook teaching with hands-on activities. Teachers access hands-on science kits at the Science Initiative’s resource center located on the campus of Gonzales Elementary School.

The Santa Fe Science Initiative has provided hands-on, inquiry-based science programming for students and professional development, materials and mentor support for teachers since 2001. In the future, the initiative aspires to expand as a regional resource center providing its science-focused educational services for Northern New Mexico. The New Mexico Community Foundation is proud to walk with this community partner in student success as we grow our future, together.

Fiscal Sponsorships and Administrative Agreements: Growing the Grass Roots

Over the past several years, NMCF has increasingly provided back-office financial management support to grass-roots projects, start-up organizations, as well as established 501(c)(3) organizations. In these arrangements, NMCF maintains financial accounting, prepares quarterly balance and income statements, provides donor acknowledgment and substantiation letters, prepares donor reports, processes payables and payroll, provides technical assistance, and assures compliance with funding restrictions.

In 2006, more than $3.1 million was disbursed into the community on behalf of the many NMCF fiscal sponsorships and administrative projects.

Foundation Partners

Ken Bateman

Stewardship in Action Ken Bateman’s love for New Mexico began at age four when he and his family moved to Hobbs. After finishing law school, he worked in Santa Fe as an estate planner. As Ken’s practice grew, so did his interest in philanthropy. He became involved with New Mexico Community Foundation in the early 1990s. During Ken’s service on the NMCF board, he shared a passion for community revitalization and provided stewardship for successful work in rural areas. With Ken’s help, NMCF made great strides in two priority areas: pursuing equity and providing opportunity. 46

Ken says he takes “great pride in seeing NMCF grow into an organization serving so many needs in New Mexico.” With his many contributions, Ken has helped NMCF build partnerships with communities, donors, and other organizations—effectively expanding philanthropy so we can grow our future, together.

Advisory Committees NMCF has established three committees that provide advice to the Foundation and act as community ambassadors on behalf of NMCF initiatives and efforts.

Based in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Las Cruces, these committees convene during the year, advising NMCF on community outreach efforts and the philanthropic landscape in their local areas. Each committee also hosts an annual community event.

Santa Fe Advisory Committee This committee is focused on NMCF’s support for community sustainability and how arts and culture contribute to the education and strengthening of our communities. In 2007, the Santa Fe Advisory Committee launched the 21st Century Luminarias and Legacy Project.
