Outside In
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $15,000
Since the founding in 1995, Outside In has responded to ever-growing requests for performances and presentations to people in shelters, residential treatment facilities, nursing homes, correctional facilities, and other institutions where people would not have access to the arts.

Planned Parenthood
of the Rocky Mountains (PPNM)
Albuquerque, New Mexico / $25,000
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.
 
Reel Fathers
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $7,000
There is a crisis of father absence and alienation in Santa Fe which mirrors the nation, where more than one of every three children lives absent from their biological father. Reel Fathers’ goal is to support men in becoming more fulfilled as fathers by learning how to play and spend rewarding time with their child. Reading aloud, dreaming up and telling stories, and making art, are some of the simple, creative, low or no-cost activities dads will experience and be encouraged to continue at home with their child.
 
Santa Fe Farmers Market Institute (SFFMI)
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $10,000

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. As landlord, the SFFMI maintains a permanent home for farm sales to serve more than 200,000 shoppers annually.

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
provide an opportunity for safe, diverse, and creative educational programs that connect
children and youth with caring adults during non-school hours.
