Growing our Future, Together
The New Mexico Community Foundation is a statewide
endowment-building and grant-making organization
that serves and invests in New Mexico communities and
their greatest asset…people.
We believe that our New Mexico communities inextricably bind us
together. So we address issues vital to communities — kids, water,
families, elders, health, hardships, livelihoods.
Building community resources and relationships,
with special emphasis on rural communities, is at the
heart of our work.
We believe that in building stronger communities, we are each made stronger.
As a steward of community resources, we support a quality
of life that reflects and honors the diverse values, traditions,
beauty, and dreams of New Mexico.

In the past year “Growing Our Future, Together” has emerged as NMCF’s
core message, but what does that mean? For one thing, we believe it means
supporting win-win partnership approaches to addressing our state’s quality
of life issues and a legacy of growing the pie instead of dividing the pie.
For the future, NMCF plans to continue growing and improving so that
we can better —
promote community participation in philanthropy by building a broad
base of donor support from all giving levels and sectors in New Mexico;
For example, “Growing Our Future, Together” means:
provide efficient services that assist donors to meet needs across the state
and help families leave a legacy to their community;
support diverse, effective projects that strive to overcome common
problems and achieve long-term solutions;
leverage and invest resources for enhancing the impact and
sustainability of projects;
teens using educational materials developed with an NMCF grant when
they went to the State Legislature and personally delivered “Seed Packets”
about the need for funding programs, such as Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten
and after-school programs or a Next Generation Fund to permanently
support programs for all children/youth ages 0-24.
TA X Help New Mexico, in collaboration with community partners and
with funds from NMCF and other foundation partners, establishing
Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) centers all over the state to bring in
more than $21 million dollars in tax refunds to low income families
in New Mexico.
In 2004 NMCF grew our total assets to more than $18 million and awarded
a record of more than $2.9 million in grants to communities around the
state. Our funds provide grants covering a wide range of innovative projects
effectively addressing vital issues from early child care and education to
youth development and sustaining natural resources.
NMCF strives to make a significant, positive difference in the lives of
New Mexicans — from the Navajo children on remote reservations to the
migrant families working along our borders. We need your continued
partnership and generous contributions so that NMCF can continue
“to support a quality of life that reflects and honors the diverse values,
traditions, beauty and dreams of New Mexico.” This can be our legacy.
Together, we can grow a better future for all.

Dr. Theresa Anaya
For a number of years, Dr. Theresa Anaya has been an annual donor
to NMCF. She is a pediatrician at the UNM Children’s Hospital and
believes in keeping community alive by supporting local businesses
and organizations. Raised by her grandmother, Theresa can trace her
New Mexico family roots back to the 1500’s. Her family instilled in
her a strong value for education which enabled Theresa to pursue her
childhood dream to be a doctor. A UNM Medical School Graduate,
she practices prevention, health education and urgent care medicine
for children and their families.
Theresa is a supporter of NMCF’s Community Health Nursing Project
program. She has been a volunteer “promotora” in Chihuahua and
understands the value of bringing quality preventive healthcare into
communities challenged with poverty and limited resources. Theresa
believes “It changes the outcome…which can offer a new future.”

Through committed support from Theresa and others like her, NMCF
is able to provide community health care aimed at strengthening
New Mexico families. It is one way the NMCF creates partnership
with New Mexicans to build a better future.

Sarah just turned two and was struggling with seizures, a dysfunction
in her left-eye and developmental challenges exacerbated by her vision
impairment. Her parents struggled with disabilities and homelessness.
Sarah’s parents love her and knew she needed help, but distrusted agencies
because they were afraid she would be taken away from them.

Through Jardín de Los Niños, a Community Health Nursing Project (CHNP)
partner, CHNP nurse Terri Selvage was able to create a relationship of
trust by focusing on healthcare delivery. Once the family’s needs were
established with the Children’s Medical Services, Sarah’s family had access
to developmental services and comprehensive medical care. Terri assisted
the family all the way through the process of corrective eye surgery for
Sarah. The surgery was successful and Sarah will be able to enter preschool
in the fall.

The Community Health Nursing Project addresses both development and

to improve childhood immunization, access to healthcare for families,
address alcohol abuse and tobacco use in families of young children and
to build trust with families through a relationship-based model of care.

Thoreau, Hobbs, Las Cruces and Columbus, on the New Mexico border
with Mexico. CHNP has been an NMCF initiative with funding from our
partner foundations (The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, McCune
Charitable Foundation, Daniels Fund, and New Cycle Foundation) and
NMCF individual partner donors. NMCF is always seeking new partners
to support very worthwhile projects serving children ages 0-5.

NEW MEXICO SPARK
What is a smooth seamless transition? Why is
it so important? About 60 children and their
families and teachers from Laguna could tell
you why. Before the Laguna Department of
Education began operating the Laguna Elementary
School, the transition into kindergarten was
very challenging for the children, their families
and teachers. In fact, children would sometimes
run back to HeadStart from Kindergarten
on their first day of school. They had been to
HeadStart and Kindergarten was very different.
The children were upset with the unfamiliar
new environment.
Laguna Department of Education received an
NMCF grant from NM SPARK (Supporting
Partnerships to Assure Ready Kids) to support
the new Early Childhood Coordinator. She and
her team met and developed a plan to better
support children’s transition. The first action
was to have a Kindergarten Camp. For a week
the children entering school came to the
kindergarten classes and spent time with the
teachers. They were exposed to riding the bus
and a curriculum very similar to the HeadStart
program. Parents were encouraged to attend
and help their children through this transition.
Guess what? Not a single child ran back to the
HeadStart. The transition was successful and
exciting for the children.
NM SPARK works with families, pre-schools
and elementary schools to ensure a seamless
transition for children 3-8 years of age as they
move from pre-school programs through
kindergarten into elementary school classrooms.
SPARK achieves this by fostering family
engagement, early childhood and elementary
school collaboration and best practices.
NM SPARK is an initiative of the New Mexico
Community Foundation with funding from our
partner foundations W.K. Kellogg Foundation,
Daniels Fund, McCune Charitable Foundation,
J.F Maddox Foundation, and from our individual
partner donors. NMCF is seeking new partners,
especially business and individual donors, to
sustain NM SPARK statewide. So far NM SPARK
is serving the communities of Albuquerque,
Bloomfield/Farmington, Chaparral/Las Cruces,
Española, Hobbs and Laguna Pueblo.

In the Laguna Pueblo language Keres, this means Helping
People Prepare for Life’s Journey. This is the mission of the
Laguna Education Foundation, which actively explores the
unique educational needs of native people and seeks to provide
the necessary resources to support life-long learning opportunities
for tribal members of Laguna Pueblo. The Foundation was
established to support the Laguna Department of Education
in its efforts to develop and support more innovative, creative
and culturally grounded educational programs and higher
learning opportunities. The Foundation raises funds from both
the Laguna Pueblo community and outside sources.

Each year over 100 Laguna college students are awarded
scholarships from the Laguna Education Foundation and the
Higher Education Program of Partners for Success. With the
help of the Laguna Education Foundation, Amber Carr is just
one of the students empowered to pursue her dream. Amber
graduated from UNM in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science
in Human Development and Family Relations. She is now
working on her Master’s Degree in Marriage, Child and Family
Therapy. Amber urges young people “My advice to Laguna
youth is to never settle for what you don’t want. Continue to
strive for your dreams and goals”.
NMCF provided the Laguna Education Foundation with a
$75,000 matching incentive grant to build their permanent
endowment. NMCF continues in partnership with the Laguna
Education Foundation by connecting LEF with partner
foundations and donors, by investing and managing its
endowment fund, and by providing administrative support
for its operations.

NMCF Youth Initiative
What is the NMCF’s Youth Initiative about?
It’s about young New Mexicans such as Maria
Sanchez, who talked with legislators and delivered the
New Mexico Community Foundation’s “Growing
Our Future, Together” seed packets to raise awareness about the NM Youth Alliance/Children’s
Cabinet, the Out-Of-School Time Network,
the Next Generation Fund, and Voluntary
Pre-Kindergarten. Maria and other youth made
legislators listen and now New Mexico has a State
Next Generation Fund, a Children’s Cabinet that
works with the Youth Alliance and funding for
Pre-Kindergarten. New Mexico Youth now have
a formal voice in policy!
NMCF believes in youth development, which
is the ongoing process of engaging youth towards
building the skills, attitudes, knowledge and
experience that prepare them for the present
and future.
Supported with funds from NMCF, W.K. Kellogg,
William Randolf Hearst, and Surdna Foundations,
and with other key support from the McCune
Charitable Foundation, Daniels Fund, and Charles
Stewart Mott Foundation, the mission of the NMCF
Youth Initiative is to build effective youth development work that yields higher quality opportunities
for youth within New Mexico’s disadvantaged
populations. NMCF Youth Initiative strives to
build public/private partnerships that impact
policies for sustaining positive youth development
efforts throughout the State.

For years, instead of having a family Christmas gift exchange,
the Apodaca family pooled funds to make a contribution to Jardín
de los Niños in Las Cruces. This tradition of giving and volunteering
in their community has been a strong value for Robert Apodaca
and his wife, Rebeca Barron, throughout their lives.
Robert grew up in Las Cruces and has established a successful
business development career in the Bay area. His experience in
institutional pension investments and architecture has evolved
into community development efforts. Later this year, Robert will
collaborate with various local and national partners and several
New Mexico cities to build affordable housing for teachers, police
officers, firefighters, nurses and public employees.

The Barron Collection Ltd., and represents leading manufacturers
of decorative and gift accessories. Throughout her education
and career, Rebeca has been an active volunteer and has served
on numerous non-profit boards.
Interested in reconnecting to New Mexico before an eventual
transition back to New Mexico, Robert and Rebeca decided to
create the Rebeca E. Barron and Robert J. Apodaca Advised
Fund within NMCF that will focus on youth related programs
in Southern New Mexico, including providing scholarship
assistance and support of innovative educational programs.
They hope this grant-making fund will encourage their friends
and family to join them in Growing Our Future, Together.

NMCF believes that New Mexico’s rural communities
will not only survive, but thrive. Through an
innovative partnership between the NMCF’s
Rural Livelihood Initiative, the National Rural
Funders Collaborative, Sustainable Communities,
Inc. and the Pueblo of Picuris Bison Project, bison
have been restored and are thriving. Their
meat is providing livelihoods as well as healthy
nourishment for the Pueblo. Now the Picuris
Bison project is exploring new opportunities to
generate sustainable economic development from
bison manure in collaboration with Sustainable
Communities, Inc.
By combining traditional values and new technologies,
a waste treatment system for the bison manure was
started this summer that will yield value added
products, including edible mushrooms that can
be sold at the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market and a local
specialty food store, bio-gas for energy, treated
wastewater suitable for growing crops and fish, a
mushroom by-product used to grow earthworms
or restore soil, and a protein rich algae that makes
a good bison feed supplement.
is to develop the social, economic, organizational
and collaborative “capital” our rural communities
need to thrive.

strengthening and sustaining rural communities
and families through the implementation and
expansion of community based strategies. The goal

Gwill and Bruce Newman
Gwill Newman’s extensive volunteer and
philanthropic career began in Cleveland,
Ohio in the 1960’s. Her almost full-time
involvement as Trustee or Director of
organizations dealing with education, health,
the arts, social services, equal rights, civic
affairs and urban development earned her a
mayoral appointment as the only woman on
the Distribution Committee of the Cleveland
Foundation, the country’s first community
foundation. With her marriage to Bruce
Newman and her move to Chicago, she
became involved in the Chicago Community
Trust as a volunteer and after the death of
her son, her focus became brain research.
Bruce Newman’s tenure in community service includes being the Executive Director of the Chicago
Community Trust, Chicago’s billion dollars plus community foundation, for twenty-seven years.
The Newman’s say they share a deep belief in the power and positive impact that community
foundations can have. Besides the special ability to learn about one’s community, they make it
possible to fulfill the needs of that community and to support the interests of its donors.
The Newman’s made Santa Fe their retirement home in 1999 and say they remain in awe of the
beauty of New Mexico’s mountains, deserts, skies and culture. Since they believe in the responsibility
of leaving a legacy to their communities, they have established bequests in their Wills for both the
Chicago Community Trust and the New Mexico Community Foundation for the benefit of the
citizens of each area. “In each case we have indicated, but not required, our desire for the use of
our funds which is one of the great advantages of using a community foundation. In our bequest
to the New Mexico Community Foundation we have also named an advisor to our fund, another
unique aspect of the community foundation. We believe we are assuring, in perpetuity, that our
funds will be used for causes in which we believe.”

“…what is left after my life’s work ends becomes
some sustenance for the journey of
those that come after me.”
“We wanted to ensure that the
communities we care about…

would have
continued support.”
“…my community is special to me…
I want my gift to support the people and the programs
that keep our community’s unique qualities alive.”

Growing our Future, Together
Thelma Mathias
For Thelma Mathias, a visual artist, it is the experience
of the Buddhist principle of “impermanence” which
has deeply influenced her life over the years. And it is
this notion which led her to know that what is left is
the spirit, the soul, that intangible essence of our being.
14
For an artist, this is not unfamiliar territory; it is
grist for the mill or the gift that guides our hands...
To support this endeavor in others so they may pursue
their life’s work in art, that creative life process which
connects mind, spirit and heart, is how Thelma is
choosing to give back. “What is left after my life’s work
ends becomes sustenance for the journey of those that
come after me.”
Thelma has created a Fund at NMCF which will eventually
support The Mathias Foundation, and make grants for
the creative activities of mid-career artists whose work
is avant-garde in the sense that it might use challenging
subject matter such as cultural identity, historical events
needing to be remembered, or threatened civilizations
and ways of life…work that has content, meaning.

RESPONSIVE PHILANTHROPY
All of our fund plans offer permanent and non-permanent
options to meet your philanthropic needs through current or
planned giving.
Unrestricted Fund: Allows NMCF the
most flexibility to meet pressing community needs
statewide. Such funds are often named for the donor
or donor’s family.
Field of Interest Fund: Donors support
an area of grant-making interest within NMCF such as
Basic Human Needs, Education, Children and Youth,
Concern for Elders, Community Arts, Environment,
and Community Sustainability. By supporting a field
of interest, donors ensure that NMCF grants can
impact and sustain systemic change within the sector.
Donor Advised Fund: Offers the donor/advisor(s)
a direct connection to grantees by recommending grants
to NMCF from the established fund.
Designated Fund: Supports a specific non-profit
organization to assist it to build a sustainable base
of support. Should the organization cease to exist or
no longer serves the intended mission, funds will be
redirected to fulfill the original intent.
Scholarship or Award Fund: Gives donors
the ability to assist individuals within an identified
group for educational or achievement purposes.
Any of our funds can be created in Honor or Memory of an
individual which continues their family’s legacy. Any of our
funds may be created anonymously.

in the garden with Merrill
Merrill Brockway
We believe
New Mexico
matters.
Merrill Brockway grew up during the Great Depression
and served in World War II. He was trained as a pianist
but struggled with the arts at Columbia College.
Nevertheless, Merrill persevered and received a BA in
the Humanities. Subsequently, Columbia University
awarded him a MA for graduate work in Musicolon.
Eventually he focused his creative talents on television.
For 22 years Merrill was a producer for CBS and
brought groundbreaking performing arts programs to
television and into our lives. At the height of his career,
he left CBS to become the series producer of the
critically acclaimed PBS program, Dance in America.
In time, he moved on to produce independent educational
programs on performing arts and its greatest masters.
After forty years in New York city, he now makes
New Mexico his home. Merrill has deep appreciation
for the cultural diversity, the beauty of the land, the
light and the camaraderie he finds here. For Merrill,
New Mexico is a magical place and he wants to give
back to New Mexicans.
During his lifetime, he has observed many youth and
young adults struggle with issues related to sexual
orientation. He also has observed many instances
where a boost of support helped a person move toward
a productive and successful life. Acting on this understanding, Merrill has established the Merrill Brockway
Endowment Fund that will make grants to organizations
that address these issues. The Fund is particularly
interested in providing creative educational opportunities
and in supporting mentorships encouraging gay youth
and young adults to excel in their lives.

ARCA
ARCA’s commitment to Opening Doors for
individuals with developmental disabilities has not
wavered since its founding in 1957 by a small group
of parents desiring community based services for their
family members. Over the years, ARCA has grown
to be the largest not-for-profit service provider in
New Mexico, offering a full array of unique services
that are individually tailored to meet the needs and
choices of each person, including 24-hour a day
residential care; supported and assisted living services;
employment and literacy training; specialized foster
care and adoptions.
In order to continue providing premier services long
into the future, ARCA actively seeks opportunities
that reduce dependence on government funding.
ARCA’s partnership with the New Mexico Community
Foundation grows crucial assets to ensure a bright
future for generations to come.
ARCA has established a non-profit organization
endowment with NMCF.

the partner organization is ensured that the fund is professionally invested and managed (e.g. 2003 total return was 20.6%;
2004 was 11.8%). Partner organizations often have opportunities to build their endowments through matching funds
offered by NMCF, yet another way NMCF is Growing the Future, Together, by walking with our community partners.
Ann and Frank Gee
45 years ago, Ann and Frank’s pioneering spirit
brought them to New Mexico, where they will be
celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this year
along with their five children and nine grandchildren.
Back in the 1980’s they built their family home in
Placitas, but as the children left the nest, they
eventually retired in Albuquerque.
As they began to explore how they could give back to
New Mexico, their accountant recommended they
donate their home to NMCF. They received a charitable
income tax deduction, and NMCF handled the entire
real estate transaction. The proceeds from the sale
created the Gee Family Fund that provides matching
incentive funds to organizations that build their
endowments within NMCF to sustain their long term
work of addressing basic human needs of children and
families. The Gee Fund is an example of how ingenuity,
vision and generosity create a new tool to grow our
future together.

Laguna Rainbow
“We know mother is safe here.”
Laguna Rainbow is the only facility of its kind. Located on a reservation in a natural
setting and served by the resident’s tribal communities to create a strong kinship
between the staff and the residents. The residents are predominantly Native American
elders, aged 55 and over, and although the residents represent different tribes, most
belong to nine of the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico.
S a n t a n a p a r t i c i p at e s i n
c r a f t s at L a g u n a R a i n b o w
This special facility provides a familiar environment in which residents can maintain
their cultural ways and native traditions. Elders celebrate traditional fiesta days,
holidays, and Holy days. Family involvement is strongly encouraged to support familiar
attachments and to uphold the quality of life and well being of Native American elders.
At Laguna Rainbow, elders are cared for with love and honor, and individuality and
uniqueness are respected. Laguna Rainbow has an endowment fund at NMCF which we
have helped grow through incentive matches from our donor and foundation partners.

fiscal sponsorships AND
Administrative Agreements
Fiscal sponsorships/administrative agreements
provide grass-roots projects and start-up organizations
needed “back-room” support so that the effort can
be successful. We call it “growing the grass roots.”
NMCF maintains financial accounting, prepares
balance and income statements, provides donor
acknowledgment and substantiation, prepares
donor and financial reports, processes of payables,
provides technical assistance, and assures compliance
with funding restrictions.
In 2004, over $1 million was
received on behalf of the many
NMCF fiscal sponsor projects.
