About New Mexico Community Trust
New Mexico Community Trust’s recent grantmaking is defined by large-scale housing stability and emergency rental assistance work in New Mexico. The biggest grant in the list went to Torres Legal Solutions LLC for the COVID-19 Emergency Rental Assistance Program, and that same program appears repeatedly across 2023 and 2024 through organizations such as NM Legal Aid Inc., Tenderlove Community Center, and Esperanza Shelter. The pattern shows a funder that has played a central role in keeping renters housed while also supporting legal and community-based delivery partners. The trust’s broader portfolio also reaches beyond crisis response. In 2025 it supported UNM Pathways - the Regents of the University of New Mexico for housing stability and New Mexico Legal Aid for housing stability, while other grants in the top list went to Silver Consolidated Schools for technology education and the New Mexico Public Education Department for education. Grants to Naeva and other organizations indicate that general support is part of the mix as well. Across the recent record, the foundation uses grants to move resources through public agencies, legal aid groups, schools, shelters, and community organizations.
What New Mexico Community Trust Funds
Housing and eviction prevention sit at the center of the foundation’s work. It awarded $863,005 to UNM Pathways - the Regents of the University of New Mexico for housing stability and $218,281 to New Mexico Immigrant Law Center for housing stability, showing support for both institutional and legal-service approaches. Education also appears in multiple forms. Silver Consolidated Schools received $250,000 for technology education, and the New Mexico Public Education Department received $226,500 for education. The trust also backed Moving Arts Espanola with $216,000 for education. Digital inclusion and youth-serving work show up through a statewide technology lens. The Google Kids Initiative is designed to promote online safety, expand access to technology among children in underserved areas, and teach safe technology use. In youth development, the Northern New Mexico Youth Fund supports career technical education and work-based learning for youth ages 13–29.
How New Mexico Community Trust Gives
Typical grant size is sizable: the 25th percentile is $49,736, the median is $100,000, and the 75th percentile is $179,286. The recent record also includes grants well above that range, which points to a mix of standard awards and larger program payments. Some recipients recur across multiple years, including Torres Legal Solutions LLC, Tenderlove Community Center, Vizion Sankofa, Women in Leadership, and UNM Pathways - the Regents of the University of New Mexico. New Mexico Community Trust is a public charity and mixed community foundation. It also funds individuals through scholarship-related programs and administers some grants as a fiscal agent or program partner. Several active programs accept unsolicited requests, while others, including Google Kids Initiative and the housing stability program, do not.
