The Art of Generosity: Bienvenidos Outreach
Stories have the power to connect, inspire, and spark meaningful change. That’s why we’re proud to launch The Art of Generosity, a new editorial series in partnership with Table Magazine New Mexico.
This series shines a light on the people and organizations shaping the cultural, social, and economic fabric of our region. Each story features one of our nonprofit partners — many of them past Piñon Awardees — whose work reflects the generosity, resilience, and creativity that define northern New Mexico. Through these stories, we aim to deepen understanding of community needs while celebrating those working every day to meet them.
In this first story, we meet Susan Tarver of Bienvenidos Outreach, whose work reflects how compassion, connection, and everyday acts of generosity can help neighbors meet basic needs and build lasting support systems.
“We ask clients for ideas on how to improve their lives. That’s why we’ve expanded from just providing food and clothing to helping people feel equal."

LGBTQ Grant County
With support from the Envision Fund at Santa Fe Community Foundation, LGBTQ Grant County is strengthening its foundation and expanding year-round programming for LGBTQ+ youth, elders, and allies in rural southwest New Mexico.
Black Men Flower Project
Black Men Flower Project uses flowers as a tool for connection, affirmation, and community-building. In a society that has unnecessarily gendered expressions of care and beauty, even something as natural as flowers can feel off-limits to men. By placing flowers directly into the hands of Black men, the nonprofit challenges those assumptions and create new social permissions for vulnerability, gratitude, and brotherhood.
