Leadership. Our goal is to be a community leader who often deals with complicated, multilayered community challenges, such as homelessness, hunger or education, all of which require more attention than an influx of grant funding. We will lead by gathering the best minds from throughout the community, just as the New Mexico Collaboration to End Hunger has successfully done and continues to do. Together we will analyze a situation or issue and look for effective solutions, knowing that creating the desired change may take years. Trust. Celebrating our 34th anniversary this year we have effectively invested donors gifts for long-term growth. Our assets, valued at more than 68 million, are the nucleus of our work. Since 1981 the endowment has fueled over 40 million in grants to local nonprofit organizations providing exceptional programs for the underserved. Legacy. Donors tell us they make gifts to the Foundation because they care about Albuquerque and want to give back to a place that has given them so much.
