CREATING A THRIVING COMMUNITY
We inspire community members to serve where they are needed the most.
ABOUT US
United Way of North Central New Mexico tackles systemic problems affecting families and children in our five-county community. We rally community support, provide comprehensive resources and raise funds to increase family stability and educational attainment. Because when every family and every child has the chance to thrive, our community has a stronger, brighter future.
OUR FOUR FOCUS AREAS
We work toward our mission by addressing needs in four key areas:
Financial Security – Helping individuals and families achieve stability through access to resources, education, and opportunities to build lasting wealth.
Youth Opportunity – Expanding access to education, mentorship, and career pathways so every young person can succeed in school and beyond.
Resilient Communities – Strengthening the networks, relationships, and systems that help communities adapt, recover, and thrive.
Healthy Community – Supporting access to physical, mental, and behavioral health services that promote well-being for all.
DIFFERENCE-MAKING DONORS
With the help of our generous donors and volunteers, we help the community in three ways.
First, we give like-minded nonprofits the resources they need.
- In fact, UWNCNM is one of the largest funders in the state of New Mexico with $3.1 million dollars in grants given in 2021-2022.
Second, we mobilize individuals and local businesses to take action.
- For example, our Workplace Giving program is one of the most impactful programs of UWNCNM. Making a donation through work may be something businesses have not previously considered. However, we encourage them to join with their fellow employees to give back in an unexpectedly fulfilling way.
Third, we provide people with the resources that they need the most.
- Our services – 211 Information and Referral helpline, the Family Advocacy Center and Tax Help New Mexico – connect people with information and support, enabling them to tackle challenges with tools that make a critical difference
There are many problems surrounding our community and although we have hope, we can’t fight alone. If more people get involved, we can improve more lives. We encourage you to reach out to a UWNCNM representative or to peruse our website to familiarize yourself with the many, many resources we provide to the community. United, we can change lives.
