About Us
New Mexico Community Trust is a tax-exempt public charity created to work in areas not serviced by existing community foundations. The Trust provides financial, investment, donor and grant management services for communities across the state along with back office support for multiple community foundations in the state. We enable those with philanthropic interests to easily and effectively support the issues they care about — immediately or through a planned gift. You can establish a charitable fund by contributing a variety of assets and can then recommend grants — in your name, if you choose — to nonprofit groups you want to support.
Unique Features of the Trust
Personalized Service
For individuals, families, companies, and private foundations, we offer efficient stewardship of their philanthropic funds, professional grant-making and monitoring, and the most generous tax benefits provided by law.
Capacity Building
The Trust provides financial and administrative support for community foundations and nonprofits in an effort to increase capacity for the social sector.
Community Leadership
We invest in the long term and bring people and organizations together, convening diverse voices to address local issues and opportunities.
