Anchorum Health Foundation is investing $25 million over five years in five community foundations across northern New Mexico. The Community Health Funds recognize the vital role these foundations play in addressing health disparities and improving overall wellness. This funding empowers each foundation to tackle local priorities – such as food security, housing, and more – our support is designed to be flexible, responsive, and impactful.
The five community foundations are Las Vegas Community Foundation, Los Alamos Community Foundation, New Mexico Foundation, Taos Community Foundation, and Santa Fe Community Foundation.
This $25 million commitment also represents a landmark moment for us, marking our expansion to serve all of the state’s Pueblos and Tribal Nations and thirteen northern New Mexico counties.
As part of our investment, we are funding an Anchorum Fellow at each community foundation. These Fellows engage communities to identify pressing needs and develop innovative, lasting solutions. Through professional training, leadership development, and a network of peers, Fellows are empowered to build strong community connections and evaluate the impact of their work.
Together, we’re growing the next generation of community leaders!
“This is more than just a generous donation,” said Rosemary Romero, Chair of the Board of Directors at New Mexico Foundation. “It’s a lasting commitment to enhancing the capabilities of community foundations, empowering them to aim higher and set ambitious goals with the confidence that they have substantial and sustained support.”
