2020 COVID-19 Relief Work
In addition to our 2020 annual grants, we awarded $1.3 million in COVID-19 relief grants to nonprofits serving people devastated by the pandemic. We made 79 COVID relief grants in partnership with W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation as well as other New Mexico and national funders. In addition to the grant awards to nonprofits, Con Alma is partnering with the New Mexico Health Equity Partnership, an initiative at the Santa Fe Community Foundation, to collaborate with others working to address long-term policy and systemic change strategies that address health disparities and advance health equity as part of an equitable COVID-19 recovery.
We congratulate the COVID-19 Emergency Assistance Project and COVID-19 Relief for Immigrant Communities Grant Recipients!
