What We Do
New Mexico Children’s Foundation is unique. It is a visionary, grassroots organization that funds small non-profit children’s organizations throughout New Mexico. Our partners may be a start-up with a strong mission or a growing organization that seeks funding to help expand its programs into other community.
The foundation understands that most children in New Mexico have a wide range of needs. The foundation’s goal is to provide meaningful grant dollars to serve as many of those needs as possible.
