Adaptive Ski Program |
|
Santa Fe, New
Mexico/$10,000 |
|
Founded in 1985, the mission of
the Adaptive Ski Program (ASP)
is to provide people living with
a disability the opportunity to
ski or snowboard under the care
of a qualified instructor. To
keep up with increasing demand
we have actively recruited more
volunteers and invested in new
and carried adaptive equipment.
In order to avoid burn out among
existing staff and thereby make
the positions more sustainable,
the program needs additional
administrative support. |

The American Cancer Society’s
‘Camp Enchantment’ operates on
the philosophy that children who
face cancer should have the same
chance to experience as many of
the joys and freedoms of a
healthy childhood as possible.
Camp Enrichment provides the
ideal setting to support
continued self-development in a
safe and caring manner. This
program offers children with
cancer the chance to make
friends with others who
understand their situation
because they share it and give
them an opportunity to feel a
part of a fun, supportive group. |

Crime Prevention Unity of the

been in existence since the
early 1970’s. Since 2005, we
have developed a Police

in which the dogs “Kasey” and
“Autumn” have become household
words in Santa Fe. The trained
dogs are used to motivate
children to listen, and to
change their behavior and
habits. An associated reading
program in K through 2nd Grade
is incorporated as an anti-drug,
gangs, and graffiti curriculum
in the middle schools. |

Domestic Violence
Resource Center |
|
Albuquerque, New
Mexico/$15,000 |
|
|
The need for therapeutic
treatment for child witnesses of
domestic violence is critical.
Studies show us that domestic
violence is a learned behavior.
Unless preventative therapeutic
measures as taken, the effects
of domestic violence on a child
can carry on through adolescence
leading to delinquent and
dangerous conduct. The DVRC,
proposes to strengthen the
“Child Witness Program.” Funding
will increase operational
support and enable the
organization to enhance its
counseling services. |
