Children living in poverty are five times more likely to drop out of school. CIS's school-based, integrated student-support program is designed to keep students in school, on a path to graduation, and college/career ready. Our staff Site Coordinators work full-time in schools to provide resources to students' academic, attendance, social/emotional learning needs, and basic needs like food, shelter, clothing, and access to medical care. The program directly effects over 6,000 students and their families, and provides over 10,000 hours of support each year. |

Creativity for Peace |

Santa Fe, New Mexico / $15,000 |

Through our initiatives, high school girls meet, learn about, and make friends with girls their own age from other cultures. We are able to establish a base of young New Mexicans who are more informed about the realities of the conflict in Israel and Palestine, and who are inspired to take action for social justice and peace. In addition to gaining a more global perspective and learning about foreign cultures, local teen women build skills for personal empowerment, leadership, and overcoming conflict in their lives. |

The death of a parent, best friend, sibling or other important person is a life-changing experience. Gerard's House provides support groups in safe, nurturing environments giving grieving children and teenagers the space and tools they need to heal themselves and to support each other as they find their way through the complex grieving process.

The Interfaith Community Shelter |
|
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $15,000 |

The largest challenge to the community is the number of individuals and families who live in poverty.

The Interfaith Community Shelter provides safe, hospitable shelter, food, and clothing to men, women, and children who are experiencing homelessness in the City of Santa Fe. The shelter promotes self-reliance by providing a point of entry to the other services necessary to make the transition from homelessness to stable housing. |

Since 2003, the sanctuary has provided eldercare/hospice for dogs, horses, and poultry on five rural acres south of Santa Fe. The demand for KSAS's programs and services has continued to steadily grow to meet animal welfare and community needs. Since opening in 2003, KSAS continues to close a service gap by accepting elderly, needy animals from shelters in Santa Fe, Espanola, and Albuquerque plus rescue groups throughout New Mexico. As space allows, we also accept elderly animals abandoned or lost during natural disasters. |
