Donor Advised Grants

GRANTS DONOR ADVISED

2017 GRANTS

The majority of grants made each year are from funds restricted by donors. Donor-advised fund holders may make recommendations to the Foundation’s Board of Trustees throughout the year to award specific grants to nonprofit organizations. Foundation staff members review recommendations to verify that organizations are qualified nonprofit groups. In light of the number of unfunded competitive grants every year, the Foundation works closely with donor-advised fund holders to align their grantmaking, supporting unfunded grant proposals and considering letters-of-intent from the Competitive Grant Program.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY & GENEROSITY

Vitality Works

As a CEO, Mitch Coven’s job is to grow and care for his employees and company, Vitality Works. For over three decades, Vitality Works has sourced raw materials from around the world and created leading edge herbal and nutraceutical supplements under its own label and the labels of both health practitioners and large brands.

Part of Vitality Works’ success, he says, is the support the company has received from the community. In the past, Vitality Works has supported nonprofit organizations important to its industry and others for which Coven personally has an affinity. The Vitality Works Fund at the Albuquerque Community Foundation, established in 2017, sets up a legacy of philanthropy Coven sees as important for the company as a way to do the right thing in the community.

“It took a village to create our success. We’ve gotten good support from the State, County and City, and we’ve reinvested heavily into the company. As the company has matured and become financially strong, I’ve reflected on our core values,” he says. “One of them is stewardship. Another is integrity. The responsible thing is to give back to the local community that has helped us expand and succeed. One way is financially. And we’ve chosen the Albuquerque Community Foundation as the vehicle.”

In 2017, Vitality Works established a corporate fund to support nonprofit organizations in the community. Vitality Works’ employees will review funding requests the Foundation brings to them and look at organizations with which employees have a connection. It is an opportunity to involve employees in the community in a way they couldn’t or wouldn’t necessarily do personally.

At first, the company thought about setting up an internal group or a separate foundation, but quickly realized they are too busy and that the learning curve would be too steep. “We looked at reporting requirements and vetting the nonprofits and asked ourselves, why not let the experts do all of that?” he says. “The service the Foundation provides is reasonable and they made it easy for us to do something that is also fiscally smart by donating the money.”

Coven sets a challenge to other successful businesses. “If you care about the community that has helped you become successful, it’s your responsibility to give back. You can’t be healthy personally without a healthy community. We’re all obligated, once our home base is taken care of, to help make the community healthy.”
