NextGen Happy Hour at Opuntia Cafe
NextGen Happy Hour at Opuntia Cafe
NextGen is the Santa Fe Community Foundation’s group of young philanthropists. Our members care about local issues and believe in the power of working together to make a bigger impact. Since NextGen formed in 2018, members have raised $55,000 in support of critical issues in northern New Mexico. Last year, the group granted out $20,000 in support of education.
In addition to their collaborative grantmaking, members of the NextGen giving circle also enjoy connecting during fun and informative events across Santa Fe like yesterday evening's Happy Hour at Opuntia Cafe.
We hope you enjoy these photos and consider donating today to join the group:

Q&A with Las Campanas Community Grant Fund

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."
