Assistance Dogs of the
West (ADW) |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $7,500 |
|
The courthouse dog serves as a
catalyst to help children relax,
feel safe, and more effectively
participate in the judicial
process. This can provide
essential evidence for the
prosecution of a crime, and
equally important, helps to
start the healing process for
the young victim. The
presence of a courthouse dog is
also comforting to adult members
of the public, family members
and professionals undergoing the
stresses of working in the legal
system. ADW has participated in
this program since 2010 and
finds placement of courthouse
dogs to have a meaningful impact
within justice programs. |

C.G. Jung Institute of
Santa Fe |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $16,000 |
|

The soul/psyche continues to be
an almost forgotten aspect of
popular individual and
community psychology. It is
particularly ironic that this
“forgotten” aspect is the root
of the word ‘psychology.’ The
C.G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe
presents community programs
because it believes that
communities in Northern New
Mexico become healthier when
citizens experience a connection
with their inner depths. Our
communities and the individuals
in them need public forums for
the soulful self-exploration and
mutual connection that
public-sector organizations do
not provide. |

The 2014 “Hunger in New Mexico”
report, published by the NM
Association of Food Banks,
estimated 20,780 members of the
Santa Fe community experience
food insecurity. Our mission is
to address the “basic human
need” of hunger through the
distribution of food bags every
Thursday, year-round, via a
drive-thru operation serving
hungry families with children,
individuals, seniors, and those
who are facing food insecurity -
not knowing where their next
meal is coming from. |

Lack of financial literacy
skills may prevent “poverty
rate” populations from buying a
home,
becoming educated, seeking
higher income jobs, and building
assets for a financially secure
future. HomeWise offers free
financial literacy training,
helping low and moderate income
families to manage money, reduce
debt, repair credit, and build
savings in order to buy a home
or protect the equity in their

The New Mexico Adoption
Exchange |
|
Albuquerque, New
Mexico / $8,000 |
|
|
Hundreds of children in New
Mexico are living in foster care
waiting to be adopted by loving
families. Adoption into a stable
and permanent family is the best
way to help “at-risk youth”
develop into self-sufficient and
responsible adults. Adopted
children exhibit better health,
higher educational outcomes, and
better overall well-being. The
Adoption Exchange aims to serve
100 waiting children through
recruitment, outreach,
education, and to support an
estimated 50 families through
the adoption process. |

New Mexico Appleseed’s effective
work includes “Full Stomachs -
Full Minds”, advocating for the
country’s first “Breakfast After
the Bell” law, which ensures
children in high-poverty schools
can get a healthy breakfast

setting up an afterschool meal
program to feed 30,000 meals a
month in the Albuquerque area.
“Native American Community
Engagement” helped the Navajo
Nation receive a $2.4 million
demonstration grant to address
hunger and economic development
on the reservation. “Keeping
Families Together” is a program
that uses permanent supportive
housing as an intervention to
prevent child abuse and neglect. |
