Grass RootsThe Edw. F. Zimmer Community Fund
We’re funding the nonprofit groups making New Mexico the Land of Enchantment. They support families in need, help new businesses open and thrive, steward our fabulous flora and fauna, and promote our cultural heritage and arts. Without their care, we would be just a another state in the union.

Targeted Grants to help hands-on programs bloom.

And Providing Affordable Spay/Neuter For CatsThrough Nonprofit Partnerships
Even though we're no longer "just a cat spay/neuter program," it's still a priority for us. So we urge cat groups to apply for Targeted Grants to continue our work -- providing free-and-local cat spay/neuter through licensed non-profit vet clinics in their communities.
