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. And without their care, we would be just a another state in the union.
"Thank you so much for the generous donation! Your gift means more New Mexicans will get skills to prevent violence -- and joy happens when people feel safe."

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 three types of grants: Unrestricted Grants to boost the overall strength of your organization, Targeted Grants to address unique (often one-time) expenses, and Token Grants for small nonprofits that don’t completely meet our eligibility criteria, but align with our program’s spirit.
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
Although we closed our Zimmer Feline Foundation in 2023, cat spay/neuter is still a priority for us.
So we encourage nonprofits that provide free or low-cost cat spay/neuter to reach out to us. We'd love to help you get more cats fixed.
And, if you're a cat caregiver needing financial help to fix your pet cat, visit Our Roots page for tips on how to get the surgery done at a lower cost.
"This year, your compassionate commitment helped our herd of horses bring hope and healing to 75 people from all walks of life who come to the sanctuary seeking solace and peace."
