Ideal Applicant
A New Mexico-based nonprofit (or fiscally sponsored project) seeking general operating or capacity-building support that aligns with local priorities in education, environment, cultural heritage, food systems, health, or community economic development.
Good Fit
- • Organization is headquartered in or has substantial programs in New Mexico.
- • Request is for general operating support, capacity building, or community-focused program funding.
- • Work aligns with stated foundation priorities (education, environment, cultural and artistic life, food security, health, or equity-focused advocacy).
- • Willingness to pursue fiscal sponsorship for particular initiatives when appropriate.
Geography
Giving is strongly concentrated in New Mexico: 92% of dollars and 90% of grants went to NM recipients, though small amounts reached seven other states.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation supported a large and diverse set of organizations — 178 grants to 176 distinct recipients — with modest dollar concentration (top one ~18%, top five ~25%).
New Applicants
Direct evidence of multi-year turnover is unavailable, but the foundation publishes application guidance and contact routes and funded a very large number of distinct recipients in the observed year, suggesting unfamiliar applicants can realistically apply.
