Still Point Fund concentrates on arts and culture alongside environmental and humanitarian causes, often combining support for local Santa Fe/New Mexico organizations with funding for national and international NGOs. They favor independent performing arts companies and experimental theater as well as conservation groups, water/sanitation and emergency-relief organizations, and targeted education/scholarship initiatives. Grants include a mix of program/project support and general operating funds, with several repeat recipients signaling ongoing partnerships.
Still Point Fund’s recent giving shows a clear pattern: arts and culture, environmental work, and humanitarian relief are all part of the same portfolio. The largest grant in the list, $45,000 to Wildearth Guardians for general support, sits alongside repeated support for Santa Fe–based performing arts organizations and organizations working on water, sanitation, and emergency response. That mix suggests a funder comfortable backing both local institutions and broader issue-based work. The foundation also returns to certain recipients across years. Rattlestick Productions Inc appears with support for both a specific production, "Severe Clear" by James Scruggs, and later general support, while Lensic Performing Arts Center Corporation received multiple 2024 grants tied to distinct programs and operating support. In Santa Fe, the funder has backed community-facing arts and civic organizations, including Reading Quest and Food Depot, while also giving to national and international groups such as Wateraid America Inc and Friends of the World Food Program Inc. The result is a grant pattern that combines place-based support in New Mexico with selective funding for organizations serving wider humanitarian and cultural aims.
Arts funding is a major thread in Still Point Fund’s recent grants. They gave $35,000 to Amp Concerts for general support, $30,000 to Rattlestick Productions Inc for "Severe Clear" by James Scruggs, and $20,000 to Lensic Performing Arts Center Corporation for "Lensic 360." A separate grant of $15,000 went to Physical Plant Theater for "The Shalom, Amore Project." The foundation also supports environmental and climate-related work. Grants include $20,000 to Wildearth Guardians for general support and $10,000 to Conservation Voters New Mexico Education Fund for general support. On the humanitarian side, they gave $20,000 to Wateraid America Inc for general support and $20,000 to Friends of the World Food Program Inc for general support. Education-related giving appears through selective institutions and student support, including $20,000 to Americans for Oxford Inc for direct support of students and $15,000 to Kenyon College for the Kenyon Access Initiative.
Typical grants cluster tightly around the middle range: p25 is $5,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $10,000. That indicates many awards are at or near $10,000, with a smaller number of larger grants pushing the upper end. The recent list also shows repeat recipients across 2023 and 2024, especially in arts and environmental categories, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. Still Point Fund is not a fund for individuals and does not make program-related investments. The grant record includes both general support and purpose-restricted funding, including project-based awards and allocations to named institutions.
