About
The Ark Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Santa Fe that focuses on strengthening civic engagement across northern New Mexico.

Civic engagement work holds particular significance in New Mexico, where rural communities, tribal nations, and historically underrepresented populations face distinct barriers to meaningful participation in governance and civic life. Northern New Mexico's unique demographic composition and geographic spread create both challenges and opportunities for building inclusive civic participation that honors the region's cultural heritage and addresses local priorities.
The Ark Foundation is a recognized 501(c)(3) public charity, which means donations made to the organization are tax-deductible. Community support is vital for nonprofits working on civic engagement, as these organizations depend on the generosity of donors and volunteers who believe in strengthening democratic participation at the local level.
