    About Albuquerque Community Foundation

    A defining feature of Albuquerque Community Foundation is its mix of community grantmaking and donor-directed distributions: the 2025 record includes a $663,352 general-support grant to UNM Foundation, while other large awards in the recent-grants list also appear as donor advised, donor-designated, and agency distributions. That pattern shows a platform that channels both institutional funds and donor-established giving into nonprofits and scholarship programs. The foundation’s recent grants reach a wide range of local organizations serving education, health, arts, food access, and community support. In 2025, it gave $264,389 in general support to Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Inc and $170,000 to Three Sisters Kitchen, both in Albuquerque. Other sizable awards support New Mexico Philharmonic, Roadrunner Food Bank, and United Way of North Central New Mexico, alongside regional recipients such as Santa Fe Community Foundation and Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico. Its stated mission is to mobilize and steward resources to create equitable opportunity for all, and the recent grant record reflects that through flexible support to established nonprofits, passthrough distributions, and scholarship-related giving.

    What Albuquerque Community Foundation Funds

    Education appears in both institutional and donor-directed grantmaking. Albuquerque Community Foundation gave $663,352 to UNM Foundation for general support, and it also runs student scholarships and student aid programs for New Mexico high school students and current or returning college students. Arts and culture show up through multiple named recipients. The foundation awarded $177,337 to Albuquerque Museum Foundation for general support in 2025, after a $532,000 donor advised distribution in 2023, and it also supported New Mexico Philharmonic with $159,360 in 2025 and $118,251 in 2024. Health and basic needs are another visible theme. Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Inc received $264,389 for general support in 2025, while Roadrunner Food Bank received $130,199 for general support the same year. The foundation also maintains an Emergency Action Fund for Food Insecurity for urgent response to food access needs.

    How Albuquerque Community Foundation Gives

    Typical awards cluster around a median of $10,000, with the middle half of grants running from $2,500 at the 25th percentile to $20,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent-grants list also shows a smaller number of much larger awards, reflecting a layered grantmaking structure rather than a single grant size. The foundation gives through both its own annual and emergency programs and through donor-advised, donor-designated, and agency distributions. Recipients recur across years: UNM Foundation, Albuquerque Museum Foundation, Three Sisters Kitchen, Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains Inc, and New Mexico Philharmonic each appear more than once in the recent-grants list. The organization is a mixed community foundation, makes program-related investments, and offers applications for some programs through its scholarship portal or annual grant cycle.
