Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The United Way of Southwest New Mexico is committed to fostering change in an equitable and sustainable way for every person in every community that we serve to thrive and succeed.

As an organization we commit to utilizing our partnerships to advocate for those whose voices have been traditionally marginalized as we strive for a community that recognizes that all differences should be valued, respected, and celebrated.
