Think New Mexico
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $25,000
Think New Mexico's work will focus on addressing two serious problems facing the state. First, we are aiming to improve the state's poor educational performance, including student achievement and graduation rates that are at or near the bottom of the nation. Second, we are seeking to address the scourge of predatory lending in New Mexico. New Mexico allows predatory lenders to charge higher interest rates than almost any other state - up to 175%, while many states cap loan rates to 36%. Think New Mexico's ongoing work is to increase the percentage of the state's education budget and also support the launch of a new initiative focused on ending predatory lending in New Mexico.
 
Trauma Resources International
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $5,000
(Out-of-Cycle Grant)
The Heart Centered Path of Wellness Retreat is about promoting "good hearts through education and enhancing the capacity for connection to one's own body and to others in a safe, healing environment. Humpback whales, along with other types of whales and dolphins, have been compared to humans in terms of their intelligence. The purpose of this retreat is to offer war Veterans a unique opportunity to interact with whales in the healing environment of the ocean, combined with therapeutic movement, nutrition, and wellness education. We believe participants will experience a reduction in PTSD facilitated by enhanced heart rate variability.

Youth Works

Over the past nineteen years, Youth Works has developed a depth of experience in the successful delivery of social services to disadvantaged and disconnected youth, ages 14-24.
