Tenderlove Community
Center |

Albuquerque, New
Mexico / $8,000 |
|
The title of our program is
Creative Sewing
and Fashion
Design, and is for homeless,
near-homeless and low-income women.
The sewing-based curriculum
allows women a sense of
accomplishment while learning a
marketable skill. The skills
learned in sewing classes are
transferable to other jobs and
situations, making our students
employable in the larger job
market, and poised for success.
We deeply believe that every
person has a creative spark and
developing that spark will bring
confidence and a sense of
purpose. |

The New Mexico Adoption
Exchange |
|
Albuquerque, New Mexico / $5,000 |
|
Children who find loving and
supportive adoptive homes are
less vulnerable to poverty and
exhibit better health outcomes,
higher levels of education, and
better overall well-being. The
Adoption Exchange ‘s New Mexico
Family Recruitment Program uses
proven activities that result in
finding more families for
waiting children. We use
outreach, education, and
recruitment to find adoptive
families for the longest-waiting
children in the State’s foster
care system. We aim to provide
more services to families
entering the foster care and
adoption process and support
them all the way through
to
licensure. |

Think New Mexico |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $20,000 |
|
|
Think New Mexico’s new
initiative seeks to
address the problems of
health care
affordability in New
Mexico and its ongoing
job crisis. High health
care prices heavily
burden families,
especially as employers
increasingly move to
high-deductible
insurance plans. Think
New Mexico is developing
a policy proposal that
would require public
reporting of common
health care costs and
quality on a
user-friendly website.
Think New Mexico is also
working towards
research, development,
and raising awareness
about policy reform
proposals that address
the root causes of these
serious problems in the
state. |

Wise Fool New Mexico /
Youth Movement
Initiative |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $15,000 |
Wise
Fool’s Circus Comes to School
program is important to youth in
Santa Fe because Santa Fe
schools provide limited access
to both arts and positive
physical activity. Circus arts
meet both these needs, providing
students
non-competitive physical
challenge and
self-expression
through visual and performing
arts. Circus Comes to School
serves a 76% economically
disadvantaged, 80% Hispanic or
Native American, and 13%
disabled population. The Circus
Comes to School program is a
cornerstone of Wise Fool’s Youth
Movement initiative. |

Santa Fe, New Mexico /
$10,000 |
|

There are youth in our community
who are homeless, runway, or
in-crisis. They need a safe
place to stay where they have
food, clothing, and crisis
intervention services. Our Youth
Emergency Shelter serves these
youth, ages 10-17, so they can
achieve safety, stability, and
sustained and appropriate
housing. Our programs and
services are clinical,
evidence-based, rooted in
trauma-informed care, and
reflect national best practices
in the field. |
