Grants are made available through several established advised funds and special program initiatives managed by NMF. This combination of donor-advised and initiative grantmaking allows NMF to provide flexible and targeted grants to various community partners.
In 2019, NMF granted millions in grants and scholarships to New Mexico nonprofit organizations and students. Communities we serve by region throughout New Mexico demonstrate NMF’s critical role as a thought leader in philanthropy and a catalyst of community change.
