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.

Making New Mexico a kinder, gentler and more meaningful place to liveA land of enchantment for everyone

To understand what makes New Mexico so special,  look no further than  our many nonprofits. They work hard to fill in the gaps where government services and individual abilities fall short. And they are the groups we help.

If you’re one of them and could benefit from extra funding, please reach out to us.  We’re there to help.

Flexible Grant Options

We offer two types of grants.

Basic Grants to boost the overall strength of  your organization or a particular project, and

Targeted Grants to help hands-on programs bloom.

Hassle-Free Applications

Our application process is simple and quick.  And you’ll find us happy to help you with your funding needs.

We’re available weekdays by phone, e-mail or text to answer your questions.

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.

The Children's Grief Center in Albuquerque works with families to cope with the loss of a loved one.  We're pleased to have them in the group of nonprofits receiving a Grass Roots Grant later this month.  Altogether since we started giving grants in September, we've contributed to 40 nonprofits that work at the local level to improve the life, environment and culture of New Mexico.  If you know of a nonprofit that could benefit from extra funding to help New Mexico, let them know of our program.  Application link is on our web site.
