New Mexico Cyclists for Wildfire Relief
The Hermit's Peak / Calf Canyon Fire is heartbreaking. The size and scope of this tragedy are unprecedented. Our neighbors are suffering. New Mexico’s robust cycling community has come together to help!
In response to the largest wildfire in our state's history, a group of concerned cyclists created New Mexico Cyclists for Wildfire Relief. Together, they are raising awareness and donating to the Santa Fe Community Foundation's Community Resiliency Fund. 100% of the donations raised will go directly to our funding region of San Miguel and Mora Counties. Grants will support food and water distribution, emergency shelter, cash assistance, and other critical services.
Join our state's cyclist community by giving to the Fund today:
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.
