NCRP selected New Mexico as the first site for our Grantmaking for Community Impact Project (GCIP). In the newly-released report Strengthening Democracy, Increasing Opportunities: Impacts of Advocacy, Organizing and Civic Engagement in New Mexico, NCRP documented how local and state organizations leveraged foundation resources to secure billions of dollars in benefits for New Mexicans.
Fourteen New Mexico nonprofits participated in the study, including:
- Albuquerque Interfaith
- Community Action New Mexico
- Colonias Development Council
- Enlace Comunitario/El Centro de Igualidad y Derechos
- New Mexico Acequia Association
- New Mexico ACORN
- New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness
- New Mexico Environmental Law Center
- New Mexico Voices for Children
- Sacred Alliance for Grassroots Equality (SAGE) Council
- Santa Fe Living Wage Network
- Somos Un Pueblo Unido
- Southwest Organizing Project (SWOP)
- Tewa Women United
NCRP, in partnership with the New Mexico Association of Grantmakers, is presenting the results of this project at a gathering in Santa Fe, N.M. on December 4, 2008. The host committee for this event includes Elizabeth Crittenden Palacios (Taos Community Foundation), Gay Dillingham (Livingry Foundation), Dolores Roybal (Con Alma Health Foundation), Randall Royster (Albuquerque Community Foundation), and Frank Sanchez (Needmor Fund).
