Community Fund Donations

Priority Focus Area Grants ('07-'08)
These grants from the Community Fund, totaling $5,201,566, were awarded for program funding at 94 agencies in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Torrance & Valencia Counties. Grants cover the period 7/1/07 to 6/30/08.  The four Priority Focus Areas are Improving Health & Wellness, Increasing Self-Sufficiency, Helping Children & Families Succeed and Empowering Victims of Violence. Together these grants represent 79% of the Community Investment Funds. The PFA grants are the result of an open, competitive process open to any nonprofit organization serving those most vulnerable in the four county area. The grant selection process is the result of the work of nearly 300 volunteers who examine each program for need, effectiveness and fiscal accountability. For a list of grantees, click here.

Priority Focus Area Grants (’08-’09)  These funds were donated to the Community Fund after the PFA Grants for '07-'08 were granted. These funds will be distributed with the next cycle of PFA Grants.

Emergency Fund Grants are available throughout the year to organizations currently receiving a grant from the Community Fund. An emergency is defined as an event which threatens an organization’s ability to deliver core services.

Community Building Initiatives are each designed to create system improvements to the human service delivery system in our community.
