About
The New Mexico Association of Nonprofits was a statewide membership organization that supported and strengthened the nonprofit sector across New Mexico. Serving as a hub for nonprofits throughout the state, it provided resources, training, advocacy, and networking opportunities designed to help nonprofit organizations operate more effectively and advance their missions.
The association offered capacity-building services to its member organizations, including training and educational programs on topics such as governance, fundraising, management, and compliance. By helping nonprofits build their skills and knowledge, the organization worked to strengthen the sector as a whole and to improve the ability of individual organizations to serve their communities.
The association also engaged in advocacy on behalf of the nonprofit sector, representing the interests of nonprofits in policy discussions and working to create a supportive environment for charitable organizations in New Mexico. This advocacy role helped ensure that the concerns and contributions of the nonprofit sector were recognized and addressed.
Networking and connection were central to the association's purpose, bringing together nonprofit leaders and organizations to share knowledge, collaborate, and support one another. By fostering these connections, the organization helped build a stronger, more cohesive nonprofit community across the state.
The nonprofit sector plays a significant role in New Mexico, providing essential services, employment, and community benefit. Strengthening this sector through training, advocacy, and connection contributes to the wellbeing of communities throughout the state.
The New Mexico Association of Nonprofits later became part of Groundworks New Mexico, joining with related capacity-building efforts to continue serving the sector. Through its work, the association contributed to building a stronger, more effective nonprofit community in New Mexico, helping organizations across the state better serve the people and causes they exist to support.
