Exciting News! We Are Now the Gila Community Foundation!

We're thrilled to announce that the Grant County Community Foundation has officially rebranded as the Gila Community Foundation! This change reflects our commitment to the broader region we serve, supporting the resilience and growth of communities across southwest New Mexico.

Please note, however, that while our programs and initiatives are already operating under the Gila Community Foundation name, our financial institutions will not be updating our name officially until early 2025. In the meantime, contributions and transactions will still appear under the Grant County Community Foundation name. Thank you for your continued support as we grow together under our new name!
