Details:
Nusenda Foundation’s goal is to partner with organizations that share in the work to help New Mexicans and West Texans thrive in the communities they call home. Applications for Community Rewards must demonstrate how the requested resources are being invested and leveraged.
Community Rewards grant sizes vary from organization to organization based on need. Nusenda Foundation is often unable to fund grant requests in full; if awarded, applicants should expect to receive no less than 30% of their total ask. Nusenda Foundation receives more requests for funds than we can fulfill. Applicants are encouraged to be mindful of these constraints when requesting resources.
Applicants are evaluated based on:
- Alignment to Nusenda Credit Union and Nusenda Foundation’s values and focus areas.
- Organization history and financials
- Successful program implementation
- Overall organizational impact and performance
