We are dedicated to the health and vitality of northern New Mexico
Since 1981, the Santa Fe Community Foundation has been dedicated to improving the health and vitality of northern New Mexico. As a comprehensive center for community philanthropy, we are proud to fund and collaborate with hundreds of local nonprofits, connect thousands of generous donors to giving opportunities, and support causes that improve the quality of life for all in our region.
causes
Our funding priorities
In addition to providing charitable investment services to donors and nonprofits, the Foundation is committed to addressing the most pressing needs in our community.
Community Leadership
Community leadership starts with you. Join us in increasing donor impact, improving nonprofit performance, and promoting the longterm health of northern New Mexico.
Early Childhood
Early childhood, particularly ages prenatal to three years, is a critical developmental period with a lifelong impact on educational, social, physical, and cognitive development. We work to ensure our youngest and most vulnerable neighbors have the best start in life possible.
Education
Education is about more than what goes on in a classroom; it's also about opening doors to a brighter future. We work to empower our region’s children and youth with educational opportunities that carry them into successful careers and beyond.

Impact Investing
How we invest can drive positive social and environmental change. We commit 10% of our pooled endowment assets to invest in promising local opportunities that promote our mission while providing financial return.
LGBTQ+
We believe in justice and equity for all in New Mexico. Join us in fighting discrimination, advancing support, and promoting the health and wellbeing of our friends in the LGBTQ+ community.
Native American
Our region is fortunate to be the home of 23 pueblos, tribes, and nations. We support Native-led and -serving organizations to protect Indigenous lifeways today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.

Legal Compliance and Ethical Standards
This Fall 2024 program is designed specifically for current nonprofit board members. Over the course of six sessions, our goal is to provide an overview of the nonprofit sector and its structure as well as support, knowledge, and skill-building around the fundamentals of board participation. The program includes guest speakers from the community to address the day-to-day details and real-life responsibilities of board service. Whether your board is 3 years old or 30, with a large staff or no staff, serving as a board member is a specific responsibility.
Q&A with Andrew Rudnick
We sit down with Andrew Rudnick, a seasoned philanthropic leader and fund advisor at the Santa Fe Community Foundation. Andrew’s journey into philanthropy is deeply rooted in personal experiences and shaped by extensive involvement in community foundations. "Community foundations use their staff and general operating funds to leverage what the donors believe in... They also bring generations of families together around philanthropy. The results are an exponential increase in philanthropic impact."
