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.

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.
