Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque
Albuquerque, New Mexico / $10,000
Meals on Wheels Albuquerque is a nonprofit, community-based organization founded in 1972. We have grown from 40 volunteers to over 400, and from 9,400 meals delivered annually to more than 145,000 meals to approximately 2,000 community members over the course of the year. Individuals earning low incomes often share their meals with their pets instead of purchasing prohibitively costly pet food, which both threatens pet health and decreases availability of crucial nutrition for pet owners. Meals on Wheels of Albuquerque's "Long Leash on Life" program provides the free pet food, routine and emergency veterinary care, emergency boarding, and grooming services our neighbors need to keep their pets healthy.
 
New Mexico Appleseed
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $10,000
New Mexico Appleseed was founded envisioning a more effective solution to solve poverty in New Mexico at the policy level and through collaborative community engagements. Goals include expanding free breakfast "after the bell" to all high poverty middle and high schools; expanding access to free breakfast and lunch at school, eliminating reduced-price co-pays statewide; and creating opportunities statewide for children to access a daily free and healthy meal. The work is year-round. The organization also looks for gaps and loopholes in the execution of available resources, removing barriers to access of services and programs, and creating new policies that have broad, positive impact.

New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $10,000
New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness continues to facilitate an increase in the number of housing beds available for people coming out of homelessness. New Mexico now has over 2,600 permanent supportive housing beds for people with disabilities, but over 1,000 people throughout the state are homeless with disabilities that we have assessed and are awaiting housing. Our data shows a clear need for more supportive housing. NMCEH seeks to end homelessness by developing systems of supportive housing and services for the homeless in each New Mexico community so that eventually no one is homeless for more than 30 days.
 
New Mexico School for the Arts
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $50,000
(Multi-year grant)
A permanent campus for New Mexico School for the Arts in Santa Fe, NM will stand as an enduring legacy for all those who played a role in establishing the school nearly a decade ago.

Resolve
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $5,000
Resolve's mission is to prevent violence by building skills and inspiring individuals to be agents of personal, community, and cultural change. By reducing the fear and impact of violence, we help to create a community where people live powerfully, experience freedom, and pursue joy. Resolve reaches individuals and communities through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and community groups, as well as classes for the public. Resolve is the only organization that focuses on concrete and effect preventative skills. Students who experience sexual violence are more likely to experience mental and physical health problems, use alcohol and other drugs, attempt suicide, and experience homelessness. Resolve's evidence-based programs will reduce incidents of violence and help individuals and communities heal from the effects of past violence.

Santa Fe Recovery Center
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $10,000
Santa Fe Recovery Center operates the only Women's and Children's Residential Treatment Program in NM where women can take their children aged 0-5 with them into residential treatment. This program has already a substantial waiting list because women with young children in NM in need of SUD treatment have no other place to turn. SFRC promotes healthy attachment and bonding between mother and child(ren) by eliminating barriers to SUD treatment for pregnant and post-partum women and ceasing trauma, illness, and addiction across multiple generation of NM families. Studies show women who received treatment at women-only facilities of facilities offering childcare services stayed in treatment longer.

Sierra County Animal Rescue Society
Williamsburg, New Mexico / $10,000
In July of 2018 Truth or Consequences Animal Shelter opened its doors. Our work was to help the shelter financially and with a volunteer program and our goal was that every animal adopted would be "Ready Set Go" with all core vetting. Since the Covid Pandemic many citizens have lost their jobs and are struggling to keep their homes and households functioning. Sierra County Animal Rescue Shelter has been reaching out, helping Sierra County citizens keep their pets in their homes and not surrendering them to the animal shelter. We are also offering core Veterinarian care when needed.
 
United Way Santa Fe County, Inc.
Santa Fe, New Mexico / $50,000
Our Family, Friends & Neighbors (FFN) program seeks to improve social, emotional, and academic outcomes for children who are being cared for in informal, unregistered, unlicensed care settings.
