Funded Programs

The UWSWNM Community Impact Fund is the combined donations of many donors creating a deep resource pool dedicated to improving the lives of southwest New Mexico’s most vulnerable. 

People are complex and so are their problems. No single nonprofit can address the many issues individuals face in our community, so we must lift up a strong, coordinated network of services to get real results.

United Way of Southwest New Mexico’s Community Impact Fund helps those most vulnerable through program grants to qualifying health and human service agencies.

• Community Impact Fund grants support an array of programs that are vetted for effectiveness and efficiency and collectively achieve results

• United Way partners with Community Impact Fund grant recipients to ensure accountability, oversight, and progress toward community goals.

• Community Impact Fund grants go to direct service programs; not to overhead.

In addition to Community Impact Fund grants, Community Fund donations support: Get Connected Volunteer Center, 211, Community Impact and program staffing.

In 2018-19 the United Way of Southwest New Mexico will provide about $176,000 in grants to 20 local health and human service agencies improving the lives of the most vulnerable in our community.

Staff and committed UWSWNM volunteers ensure donors' Community Impact Fund gifts are invested wisely, providing the most needed services in our local community.
