Staff
The Foundation employs a small, highly skilled staff with two things in common:
- A passionate belief in the Albuquerque community and in the power of local people to achieve a brighter future;
- A commitment to personally serve our donors and organizations using the most effective and financially prudent approach available
With extensive knowledge of our community’s changing needs, our staff serves you, our donors, as you identify and implement your charitable goals.
