For Nonprofits
Each year the Foundation makes grants to organizations with proven track records as well as to new organizations providing direct services benefiting people in the Albuquerque metropolitan area.
There are many sources of funding for nonprofit organizations, so we may not always be the one that will best fit your needs.
In this section you will find the information to help you decide if we are the appropriate source of funding for your program. Organizations seeking grants from the Competitive Grant Program should consider the fit between their mission and activities and the Foundation’s guidelines. Unfortunately, we receive far more grant proposals than we can fund.
In a typical year, 25% of the grants requested are funded.
Some funds within the Competitive Grant Program are unrestricted and contribute to grants in any fields of interest while others are restricted to specific purposes. We also have funds known as donor-designated to specific agencies and donor-advised; these are not part of the competitive grant cycle. However, together these funds reflect the diverse charitable interests of our community and enable us to respond to a wide variety of organizations and programs.
