Announcing the Santa Fe Hestia Fund Philanthropy Fellowship
The Santa Fe Hestia Fund, a component fund of the Santa Fe Community Foundation, is launching a two-year fellowship program for young women of Santa Fe who are interested in developing knowledge and experience surrounding philanthropy in Santa Fe. The fellowship includes a scholarship for a two-year membership in Hestia. Santa Fe Hestia Fund is a women’s giving circle. Our mission is to support Middle School Children through funding for non-profit organizations. “We believe that if middle-school children are supported, positively engaged, thriving and aspiring they will graduate high school and go forward to successful lives.” We support grants to non-profit programs that provide this support to middle school children in Santa Fe.

SNAP benefits loss: what you can do
460,000 New Mexicans are facing an urgent challenge. With the recent suspension of SNAP benefits and federal government shutdown, 21% of state households are suddenly without one of the most basic forms of support: food assistance. Nonprofits, community partners, and food pantries are working swiftly to provide resources to fill in the gap as best they can.
