Future Fund
Future Fund is a collaborative giving circle comprised of young leaders from various sectors who share the love of philanthropy and community engagement. Every member (or couple) contributes $200 annually to support worthy causes. Future Fund celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017. In addition to granting $19,000 to local nonprofits, the group hosted several one-of-a-kind social events and volunteer activities.
In 2017, Future Fund focused on strengthening community partnerships with other young professional groups, such as Young Professionals of Albuquerque, Albuquerque Involved, Young Nonprofit Professionals Network of NM and UNM Young Alumni. Future Fund, along with these groups, co-hosted a lip sync competition at Marble Brewery and awarded a $1,000 grant check to the winner’s nonprofit of choice. Members also partnered with Albuquerque Involved to serve lunch to those in need at The Rock at NoonDay.
