Dear Friends and Partners, 

Have you ever considered donating or setting up a fund to support a local nonprofit or charity? At the New Mexico Foundation, we would love to have that conversation with you. 

Charitable nonprofits are vital to the well-being of our state. They bring people together for the common good, support dreams, transform lives, and foster hope. As the National Council on Nonprofits reminds us: 

“America’s 1.3 million charitable nonprofits feed, heal, shelter, educate, inspire, enlighten, and nurture people of every age, gender, race, and socioeconomic status, from coast to coast, border to border, and beyond. They foster civic engagement and leadership, drive economic growth, and strengthen the fabric of our communities. Every single day.” 

Every New Mexican benefits from the work of these incredible organizations, whether directly or indirectly. 

But how are these nonprofits sustained? The answer is simple: generosity. More than 80% of nonprofit donations come from individuals. That means people like you are the backbone of charitable work in our communities. 

At the New Mexico Foundation, we make it simple to give back and support the causes that matter most to you. Donors also receive the benefit of an immediate tax deduction for their contributions. Here are three primary ways you can create lasting impact: 

If you’ve ever thought about creating a legacy of generosity, now is the perfect time to start the conversation with us. Together, we can help you make an informed decision that reflects your values and vision for New Mexico. 

Your generosity can—and will—change lives. 

With gratitude and hope, 

Justin Kíí Huenemann

New Mexico Foundation is the fiscal sponsor to a variety of organizations. One of our fiscally sponsored organizations, Seed & Bloom, strives to use the healing power of horticultural therapy, along with agricultural and culinary education to uplift and empower incarcerated individuals.

Therapeutic Horticulture is the process through which participants enhance their well-being through active or passive involvement in plant and plant-related activities. In spaces created by Seed & Bloom, rehabilitative and vocational plans are integrated for participants using plants as a healing medium.

Seed & Bloom was recently featured in Edible New Mexico magazine. The article is titled - "A Far and Away Picnic". Click on the video (above) or the picture (below) to learn more about Seed & Bloom!
