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!
