International Folk Art
Market/
Santa Fe |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico /
$25,000 |
|
Folk artists across the
globe need markets to
sustain their
livelihoods, preserve
their culture,
and support their
families. At the same
time, many children,
youth and families in
New Mexico are isolated
and lack opportunities
for interaction with
global cultures. The
Market addresses the
challenge of an
interconnected world by
providing an innovative
approach to increasing
greater global and
cultural
misunderstanding through
its partnerships and
related educational
programming. The Market
accomplishes its goals
through business and
entrepreneurship
training for
participating folk
artists, and promotes
cultural exchange
through education
programs for the general
public and outreach to
underserved communities
in northern New Mexico. |

Kindred Spirits Animal
Sanctuary (KSAS) |
|
Santa Fe, New
Mexico / $9,000 |
|
|
Many aged dogs, horses and other
animals are abandoned in New
Mexico each year. Elderly dogs
are a large component of canines
surrendered to shelters, and the
first to be euthanized because
the public considers them
unadoptable. KSAS seeks to
change cultural attitudes toward
aging companion animals by
providing a model for eldercare
for shelters and offering
educational programs that
increase the pet guardian’s
knowledge of the aging process,
and provide hands-on tools for
managing the aging process. |

Literacy Link |

Silver City, New

The 2010 census showed 39.3% of
the Silver City population spoke
a language other than English at
home – the national average is
17.9%. The National Adult
Literacy Survey found that a
parent’s education level is the
number one
determiner of a child’s
education level. The goal is to
raise literacy levels in Grant
County through one-to-one
tutoring; English as a Second
Language classes;
computer literacy
instruction; literacy
workshops and outreach
activities; and distribution of
over 10,000 books yearly into
homes. |

With almost 1,700 babies born in
Santa Fe each year, an increase
need for assistance to families
during critical early months
after the birth or adoption of a
baby, and the ongoing shortage

families, the need for Many
Mothers care and support is
growing. Many Mothers is working
diligently to increase the
number of families served each
year in order to ensure that no
family is ever turned away, and

New Mexico parents and educators
have reported that youth with
outstanding artistic gifts were
not being adequately served,
particularly in isolated and
rural areas of the state. In
response, NMSA was created to
provide any New Mexico high
school student who demonstrates
exceptional promise, aptitude
and passion for the arts the
opportunity to work toward
mastery in their
chosen fields. This is achieved
through pre-professional
instruction in the performing
and
visual arts in combination with
rigorous academics leading to a
New Mexico diploma. |
