Since 1983, donors have been the heart and soul of the New Mexico Community Foundation (NMCF).

We can’t say enough about how our donors’ dynamic vision and generosity impacts New Mexico. Listen to what a few of our donors have to say about the value of giving to NMCF:

“The reason I am so interested in supporting the NMCF agenda is because they are the one and only champion of all the small, up-against-the-wall communities in New Mexico. The people in these communities need assistance more than anyone in the state. They are hard working and appreciative of what the NMCF provides them in terms of resources, expertise and funds. Also, what I find equally important is the competent, dedicated and forward-looking management of the Foundation. I am delighted to have been involved with them since 1994.” – TERRY BREWER, NMCF DONOR

“Small amounts of money, pooled with other small amounts, have greater impact when giving through NMCF, whose experience and track record assures maximum benefit and effectiveness of the gifts.”

– SUSAN HERTER, NMCF CO-FOUNDER

“New Mexico families of children threatened by cancer need special support during the out-of-state treatment period. We dreamt of a way to help them.  The New Mexico Community Foundation made that dream come true – for us and the New Mexico families.”

— STEVE ROBINSON & CONNIE KAISERMAN, NMCF DONOR

“I strongly support reproductive rights and social justice for the women of New Mexico, and that’s why I support Women Building Community. This unique fund puts women-run nonprofits together with the donors who believe in their work to collaborate on creative ways to achieve equity and opportunity for all.”
—CAROL TUCKER TRELEASE, NMCF DONOR

“My association with New Mexico Community Foundation has always been based on the integrity that I know they possess. I’ve worked with them for years and I trust the research that they do in terms of resources and management of funds. I believe ‘research’ and ‘integrity’ would be my two words for New Mexico Community Foundation.” 

- JOAN BAKER, NMCF DONOR
