At Albuquerque Community Foundation, we manage a permanent community endowment sourced from various gifts to support the greater Albuquerque area. Our mission focuses on enhancing all community well-being dimensions, partnering with donors, funders, leadership groups, and nonprofits. We aim to foster a vibrant future through grants to nonprofit organizations and educational institutions, concentrating on animal welfare, arts & culture, economic & workforce development, education, environmental & historic preservation, health, and human services.
The Albuquerque Community Foundation's Annual Grant Cycle aims to support organizations that provide services benefiting residents in the four-county Greater Albuquerque Metropolitan Area. This grant program pools distributions from over 90 endowment funds to respond to community needs across diverse fields including Economic and Workforce Development, Health, and Human Services, among others. The foundation seeks to fund efforts that align with its commitment to equity, transparency, and values-aligned philanthropy, focusing on under-resourced communities and the implementation of an Anti-Hate Policy. The grants are general operating grants, allowing recipients flexibility in their use, including day-to-day activities and project costs. Awards typically range from $10,000 to $20,000, with the size determined by the organization's budget, rubric score, and available funding.
