    About Santa Fe Community Foundation

    A $2,203,000 capital expenditure grant to Tewa Women United stands out in the foundation’s recent giving and shows how Santa Fe Community Foundation combines large institutional support with local, community-rooted funding. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backs nonprofits in health care, early childhood, education, housing, hunger relief, climate, and Native-led work, often through general operating support rather than narrowly restricted project dollars. Its portfolio includes multi-hundred-thousand-dollar grants to Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center, Food Depot, and New Mexico Climate Investment Center, alongside smaller community grants administered through named funds and annual award programs. The mix suggests a funder that supports established service providers as well as community-specific initiatives, with repeated attention to New Mexico organizations and to organizations serving Native communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and children. Recent awards also show support for cultural and civic infrastructure, with grants to Lensic Performing Arts Center and Community-oriented groups in Santa Fe, Mora, and Santa Cruz. The foundation’s program structure points to multiple channels of grantmaking, including advised funds, competitive community cycles, and wildfire-relief support.

    What Santa Fe Community Foundation Funds

    Health and human services appear prominently in the recent grants, including $1,517,500 to Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center for general operating support and $211,308 to Food Depot for general operating support. Early childhood is another clear priority: Growing Up New Mexico received $185,073 for general operating support in 2025, following a $152,790 grant to Growing Up New Mexico the Early Childhood Partnership in 2023. Education-related support also runs through the list, from $208,692 to New Mexico School for the Deaf to $167,983 for Partners in Education for the Santa Fe Public Schools. The foundation also funds Native-led and culturally specific work, illustrated by $218,750 to Tewa Women United for general operating support and $226,000 to Mora Creative Council for general operating support.

    How Santa Fe Community Foundation Gives

    Typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $18,000 at the median, and $35,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent list also includes much larger operating and capital awards, showing that the foundation uses both modest community grants and seven-figure commitments. The pattern is not limited to one-time awards: several recipients appear in more than one year, including Christus St Vincent Regional Medical Center, Food Depot, Partners in Education Foundation for the Sfps, and Tewa Women United. The foundation is classified as a mixed community foundation, and the active programs show a blend of unsolicited and invited pathways.
