Future Fund

Future Fund is a collaborative giving circle comprised of young leaders from various sectors who share in the love of philanthropy and community engagement. Membership is $200 annually and 100% of that goes toward supporting local nonprofits.

In 2018, the Future Fund focused on expanding partnerships in the community to connect with other organizations where young people are committing to make Albuquerque a great place to live—in particular, Young Professionals of Albuquerque, Young Nonprofit Professionals New Mexico and the National Hispanic Cultural Center were key partners. Together, these groups combined their collective efforts to build a stronger young professional network in Albuquerque and have greater philanthropic impact.
