New Mexico Funders Collaborative

Recognizing a need for funders to collaborate and create higher impact grant opportunities by pooling time, energy and resources, the New Mexico Funders Collaborative was established in 2017. The Collaborative is guided by a shared belief that we are stronger together and we can work in partnership to create long-term systemic change in New Mexico.

In 2018, the Collaborative awarded two high impact grants through the Jennifer Riordan Educate2Elevate program and the Communities in Action: Mental & Behavioral Health program.
