Attention Nonprofits: Help Us Map Your Impact!

Keep an eye on your email for a crucial survey from the Grant County Community Foundation. We’re reaching out to gather information about your organization and its impact. Your participation will help us include your nonprofit in our comprehensive mapping project for Grant, Luna, Hidalgo, and Catron counties.

Thanks to a generous grant from Freeport McMoRan, we have been able to purchase ArcGIS, a powerful geographic information system. This invaluable tool allows us to visualize, interpret, and understand spatial data, leading to better resource allocation, enhanced collaboration, and more effective community support.

By participating in this survey, you’ll contribute to a valuable resource for the entire nonprofit sector. Your input will help us create a detailed map that showcases the incredible work being done in our communities and identifies areas where further support is needed.

We hope all nonprofits will take part in this important project. Your insights are vital to our mission of fostering a stronger, more connected community. Thank you for your collaboration and support!

Nonprofit Leader Luncheon

Exciting Update: Nonprofit Leaders Luncheon Series

We're thrilled to announce the return of our Nonprofit Leaders Luncheon this July! To better accommodate everyone's busy schedules, we've moved our gatherings to the 3rd Thursday of each month. This change ensures you won't miss out on the Chamber of Commerce and Prospectors Lunches.

We've planned an enriching schedule for the rest of the year, packed with valuable insights and practical advice:

  • July: Open Meetings Act NM Statutes for Nonprofits & Best Practices for Meetings
  • August: Filings (How-Tos) and Compliance
  • September: 2nd Annual Nonprofit Conference
  • October: Capital Campaigns
  • November: Policies for Best Practices
  • December: Year in Review & Building Collaborations for the Future

Not only will you be adding beautiful pieces to your collection, but you'll also be making a meaningful impact—20% of all proceeds will benefit the Grant County Community Foundation and support our nonprofit community initiatives.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to engage with local artists, find one-of-a-kind treasures, and support a great cause. Your purchase will help us continue our mission of fostering community growth and development.
