Donors Come Together to Support Wildfire Relief
Last updated Wednesday, August 24, 2022
Flip through the pages of our wildfire relief donor booklet below and you'll find an incredible amount of support for our displaced neighbors — that spirit of giving is a hallmark of our community. We thank our donors for supporting the Community Resiliency Fund at the Santa Fe Community Foundation and the All Together NM Fund, a joint effort of the New Mexico Coalition of Community Foundations and the Governor's office. Your generosity has enabled us to provide fast relief to families displaced by the ongoing wildfires. Please join us in recognizing our growing list of individual donors:
Stronger Together: The Impact of Donor Advised Funds
One of the most popular ways community members partner with the Santa Fe Community Foundation is through donor advised funds, which have become the nation’s fastest-growing philanthropic tool for their ease, flexibility, and tax advantages.
The Origin of Dollars4Schools: Creating a Local Helping Hand
In 2010, after attending a Santa Fe Public School board meeting where teachers spoke about the lack of basic supplies in their classrooms, local business owners Pat and Michael French were determined to find a platform to let the public directly help Santa Fe teachers in need. While national resources existed to help teachers lacking classroom supplies, Dollars4Schools (D4S) would be unique in that all funds raised privately would go 100% to meeting local teacher needs.
Piñon Legacy Society: Creating a Lasting Local Impact
The Santa Fe Community Foundation is a valuable resource for donors who want to make a lasting impact in their local community. We spoke with Bud Hamilton and Sherry Parker, two members of our Piñon Legacy Society, about their decision to make a planned gift.
