DEVOTED TO YOUNG PEOPLE

The founders of NMCF envisioned a grant-making body that would fund children’s programs and projects. Today, a group of dedicated individuals are continuing the vision. By raising funds and distributing them wisely, a brighter future for many New Mexican children is being realized through the Foundation, the state’s only private grant-making group devoted exclusively to young people.

GET INVOLVED

The Board of Directors and community volunteers raise money to fund our grant program in a variety of ways. Committee planning and execution of our various fundraising events ensures continued success.  Please contact the Foundation to learn how you can help us invest in New Mexico’s future, our children.
