Emergency Action Fund
No two emergencies are alike. It's impossible to predict a roof caving in, a wall crumbling, a fire, or the effect of a drought followed by flooding.
However, one thing that is predictable is that financial resources are always required to repair the damage. Having these resources available quickly is often critical.
The Albuquerque Community Foundation is preparing to help our nonprofit partners when the next emergency occurs. Whether it be a small emergency that affects only one nonprofit or a crisis on a larger scale that requires cooperation between many organizations, we want to be ready to help.
For that reason, we’ve created an Emergency Action Fund. Established as a Now & Forever Fund, one half of the fund balance is available for immediate use, while the other half remains in the fund so it will continue to grow and provide periodic emergency assistance forever.
Anyone can contribute any amount to this Fund. Contributing corporations, foundations, other nonprofit organizations, and individuals will be recognized as the fund grows, coinciding with grants awarded so that a historical reference can be maintained.
