Reading Quest |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $25,000 |
|
|
Failure in learning to read by the end of third grade is arguably the single greatest determinant of subsequent academic failure--and the single best early predictor of eventually dropping out of school. Reading Quest's mission is to help children who are having trouble reading become strong, enthusiastic readers. We provide individual and group tutoring; intensive two-week reading camps to groups of children; and workshops, training, coaching, and mentoring to public school teachers in order to improve their ability to teach reading. |

The Santa Fe Playhouse |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $10,000 |
|
|
Several organizations offer performance opportunities for children in Santa Fe, but none with no-cost to students. Our mission is to serve at-risk, underserved, and youth ages 8 and up in our community using theater as a focused course in playwriting and improvisation. This activity leads to performance used as a tool to engage and develop our youthÕs means of expression. The activities empower kids to discover and express their unique ideas and personal truths through the process of creating theater. |

Stray Hearts Animal Shelter |
|
Taos, New Mexico / $5,000 |
|
|
One of our strategic objectives is the elimination of companion animal over-breeding and overpopulation in Taos County. Animal Control officers have no jurisdiction on Native American lands. The Pueblo, while recognizing the problem of dog overpopulation, has not addressed this and most reservations dogs are not confined. Our goals are to spay or neuter 30 animals each day; raise awareness of animal welfare; foster improved animal care, and begin to address the Pueblo's dog overpopulation. |

Think New Mexico |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $15,000 |
|
|
Think New Mexico's work will focus on two serious problems. First, aiming to improve the state's poor education performance, including student achievement and graduation rates. Second, addressing the crisis in retirement security for New Mexico workers. Our goals are to increase the percentage of the state's education budget that is spent in the classroom, rather than on central administration; support the launch of a new initiative focused on improving retirement security for New Mexico workers by shoring up the state's public pensions and access to individual IRA accounts. |

United Way of Santa Fe County |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $15,000 |
|
|
Our Family, Friends and Neighbors support program seeks to improve outcomes for children who are being cared for in informal, unregistered, unlicensed care settings by providing home visits and organized play-learn groups. Through this program, children experience increased learning and development while caregivers advance in their knowledge of caregiving, childhood development, and early learning/teaching. The most vulnerable population in our community are low-income children who do not receive any formal early education before entering Kindergarten--exactly the population our program serves. |
