Jessica's Love Foundation appears to be a regionally focused New Mexico funder that supports community resilience and economic justice in and around Santa Fe and North Central New Mexico. Their grants concentrate on place‑based economic development (including impact investing and public banking), refugee resettlement and immigrant services, regenerative agriculture and training, and Indigenous-led community initiatives. They favor intermediaries and collaborative efforts that build local capacity and support workforce/leadership development.
A defining feature of Jessica's Love Foundation is its repeated support for New Mexico intermediaries that build local systems: the Santa Fe-based New Mexico Impact Investing Collaborative received grants in both 2023 and 2025, and Santa Fe Community Foundation also appears in the recent record for the same collaborative and its fellowship program. The foundation’s giving points to place-based work in North Central New Mexico, with grants tied to public banking, regional prosperity, refugee resettlement, regenerative agriculture, and Indigenous-led community wellbeing. The foundation also makes larger commitments to specific projects. In 2023, Las Cumbres Community Services Inc received $50,000 for the Santa Fe Afghan Resettlement Project, while Regenesis Institute for Regenerative Practice received $50,000 in 2025 for a student scholarship fund. Other grants show a steady interest in organizations that strengthen local capacity rather than isolated one-time services. Alliance For Local Economic Prosperity received support for regional prosperity development in North Central New Mexico, and Tewa Women United was funded for a campaign tied to children’s future. The pattern suggests a funder that uses grants to reinforce community infrastructure, leadership, and long-term resilience within a regional New Mexico network.
In refugee and resettlement work, Jessica's Love Foundation gave $50,000 to Las Cumbres Community Services Inc for the Santa Fe Afghan Resettlement Project. That grant sits alongside support for organizations working through local systems rather than stand-alone relief. For economic development, they backed Alliance For Local Economic Prosperity with $25,000 for a Regional Prosperity Development Project in North Central New Mexico, and also supported public banking work through the same Santa Fe-based network. In agriculture, the foundation gave $20,000 to La Cosecha Community Supported Agriculture for capacity building for the Agri-Cultura Network, pointing to interest in farmer-network infrastructure. The foundation also supported Indigenous-led family and child wellbeing through Tewa Women United with a $20,000 grant tied to a children’s future campaign.
Recent grants cluster around a typical size of $20,000, with the middle half running from $16,250 to $23,750. The grant list includes both $15,000 awards and several $25,000 grants, plus a pair of $50,000 grants at the top end. The record shows repeated support for some initiatives over multiple years, including the New Mexico Impact Investing Collaborative through Santa Fe Community Foundation and Alliance for Local Economic Prosperity. Jessica's Love Foundation funds individuals as well as organizations, and the recent record also includes a scholarship fund. The foundation does not show program-related investments in the supplied data.
