Future Fund

Future Fund future

This is Albuquerque: a city of potential. Nowhere do we see that as clearly as when we work with the donors of our Future Fund, a group of generous young people who are committed to making a lasting impact on their city through philanthropy.

Sixteen years ago, the Foundation established the Future Fund, composed of young people and their peers who have a desire to improve their community through philanthropy. At its inception, the fund consisted of 12 couples. Today, it includes more than 200 members with an endowment of almost a half million dollars. These individuals are examples of the future of philanthropy in New Mexico, as well as of the spirit of generosity that is alive among today’s young people.

They each have their own reasons for participating. For some, it is because they want to end hunger in their community, while others are motivated by economic development and creating new opportunities for other young people. This is their Albuquerque as much as it is any of ours.
