Childhood Program |

Mexico / $15,000 |
|
|
Providing stable, responsive,
nurturing relationships to
overcome developmental
compromises and delays in the
earliest years of life can
prevent or even reverse the
damaging effects of early-life
stress, with lifelong benefits
for learning, behavior, and
health. New Vistas provides
early intervention services to
infants and toddlers who have
developmental compromises or
delays while addressing the
special needs within the
relational context of their
families. |

Planned Parenthood
of the Rocky Mountains
(PPNM) |
|
Albuquerque, New Mexico / $20,000 |
|
|
New Mexico’s teen pregnancy rate
is currently the highest in the
nation. Teen pregnancy puts
teens and their children at
higher risk for poverty, high
school dropout and health
problems, according to the
National Campaign to Prevent
Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. To
qualify for a well-paying job in
the increasingly competitive
marketplace, it is more
important than ever for teens to
graduate from high school. To
combat these startling
statistics, PPNM designed the
Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention
Program - an education program
that gives New Mexico’s teens
the skills and information they
need to avoid teen pregnancy. |

Puerto Seguro-Safe
Harbor, Inc.
(PS-SH) |
|
Socorro, New Mexico / $10,000 |
|
|
One of the many needs
for those who are
homeless or in poverty
is food security. PS-SH
provides approximately
3,700 warm and
nutritional meals
annually to those in
need, and the number of
those in need is
continuing to grow.
PS-SH’s kitchen and food
service appliances need
updating so that they
can continue to provide
this necessary service.
With these new kitchen
appliances, clients can
continue to be served
hot meals and PS-SH may
expand its services to
meet the growth. |

Sacramento Mountain
Village (SMV) |
|
Ruidoso, New Mexico / $1,000 |
Sacramento Mountain
Village was established
in 2007. In order to
remain active as they
age, all seniors need
both physical activity
and good nutrition.
Experience has shown
that obtaining this
balance is more
successful when they are
engaged in group
activities. Many seniors
in Lincoln County are
without family support
and SMV provides
resources and activities
for these seniors. This
project will include a
combination of 8
nutrition classes and
Tai Chi for the senior
program consisting of 8
weeks. |

Santa Fe Farmers Market
Institute |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico /
$5,000 |
|
|
The initial goal of the
Santa Fe Farmers Market
Institute was to raise
funding to build the
Market Building in the
Railyard, which now
provides agricultural
producers a permanent,
year-round venue for
selling their products
directly to the public.
The Institute continues
to manage that facility,
and conducts community
education and outreach
to bring more people to
the Market and raise
awareness of the
benefits of healthy,
local food. |

Santa Fe Performing Arts
(SFPA) |
|
Santa Fe, New
Mexico / $10,000 |
|
|
SFPA’s programs provide children
of all ages with a vehicle for
the development of self-esteem.
When a child is aware of their
own worth it keeps them from
endangering themselves with
drugs or gang involvement.
Performing arts also helps
children build communication and
problem solving skills to deal
with other issues such as
bullying, teen suicide and
challenges facing LGBTQ youth.
The goal of SFPA is to help kids
at risk succeed and to provide
an opportunity for safe,
diverse, and creative
educational programs that
connect children and youth with
caring adults during non-school
hours. |

Opera Program (ALTO) in the
Santa Fe Public Schools is a

teaching artists directly into
third-grade classrooms for

Warehouse 21 |

|
|
Warehouse 21 (W21) |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico /
$20,000 |
|
|
W21 has been a place where young
people not only watch and
listen, but learn to overcome
stage fright and participate in
public art—as opposed to
vandalism. Teens produce their
events and make their own
products to sell in the
marketplace and experience their
first applause. Having a place
to participate in the arts
through expression supports
leisure time in a productive
way. Arts programming can be
particularly meaningful to youth
who are navigating the
transition from childhood to
their more independent, but also
demanding, teen years. |

Young Fathers of Santa
Fe (YFSF) |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico /
$10,000 |
|
|
YFSF was established to address
a critical need in the Santa Fe
community to provide assistance
and support to young fathers.
New Mexico has the highest teen
pregnancy rate in the nation and
nationally 80% of teen fathers
do not have regular contact with
their children. YFSF is the only
program specifically designed to
provide support services for
young fathers in Santa Fe. The
goal of YFSF is to support the
healthy involvement of fathers
in the lives of their children,
become good fathers, mature
adults, and productive citizens. |
