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:
