We mobilize the caring power of our community to tackle local challenges and fund programs that keep resources and support in San Juan County to build a stronger, brighter future.
San Juan United Way’s recent grantmaking is built around local emergency support and basic-needs services in San Juan County, with one large 2025 allocation of $708,704 standing out alongside a cluster of smaller awards to community agencies. The grant list points to a funder that channels resources through food assistance, shelter-related services, youth programming, and family support, rather than broad, multi-state philanthropy. Recipients in the recent data include Echo Foodbank in Farmington, which received $11,452, and Path in Farmington, which received $8,805 for daily bread-related support. Childhaven in Farmington also appears in the 2025 grants, receiving $8,566 for parent support. Another recurring thread is behavioral and crisis services: Sexual Assault Services of Northwest New Mexico received $6,693, and Presbyterian Medical Services received $6,186. Taken together, these awards show a community-based funder that uses local grant dollars to meet immediate needs, connect households with services, and support nonprofits working across San Juan County.
Food and emergency assistance are central to the foundation’s giving. In 2025, Echo Foodbank in Farmington received $11,452, and Path in Farmington received $8,805 for daily bread-related support. Those awards align with the foundation’s emphasis on food distribution and emergency food access. Youth services are another clear area: Kirtland Youth Association in Kirtland received $9,080 for after-school support, and Farmington Boys and Girls Club received $6,319 for a summer program. Family and crisis-response services also appear in the recent grants. Childhaven in Farmington received $8,566 for parent support, while Sexual Assault Services of Northwest New Mexico in Farmington received $6,693. These examples show funding for direct services tied to household stability, youth opportunity, and local safety-net needs.
The typical grant size is modest: the 25th percentile is $6,412, the median is $7,630, and the 75th percentile is $9,011. The recent list also shows a single large 2025 allocation of $708,704 alongside much smaller operating-style awards in the low thousands, suggesting a mix of broad allocations and targeted program grants. San Juan United Way funds locally and gives entirely in New Mexico, with every listed recipient in the state. The grant programs described include both unsolicited and phase-based applications for some emergency funds, while the Community Impact Fund is not unsolicited. The data also shows recurring support for local nonprofit service providers rather than one-off individual giving.
