2025 Juneteenth Recap
Thank you to all who joined the Empower! Black Futures Community Fund at Santa Fe Community Foundation for Juneteenth commemorations in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. We were grateful for the opportunity to come together as a community in remembrance, solidarity, and joy in honor of Black freedom and culture.
This Juneteenth marked a meaningful milestone for the Empower! Fund, the Foundation’s newest identity-based giving circle, as it announced its inaugural round of grantmaking — $41,000 in support of Black life, arts, and culture in New Mexico. If you would like to join the Empower! Fund in promoting community development, fostering Black artistic expression and preserving cultural heritage, and building financial literacy for generations to come, we invite you to make a gift that is meaningful to you here.
