Envision Fund (LGBTQ+)

Envision Fund (LGBTQ+) is sponsored by Santa Fe Community Foundation. The Envision Fund supports nonprofits across New Mexico that are promoting the health, safety, and empowerment of at-risk and underserved LGBTQ+ communities.

Our fall grant cycle and Giving Together catalog applications are open through August 16! LGBTQ+ philanthropy at the Foundation The Envision Fund of the Santa Fe Community Foundation is the largest LGBTQ+ funder in the state of New Mexico with over one million dollars made in grants since its inception.

The Santa Fe Community Foundation partners with the members of the Envision advisory committee to fund nonprofit organizations that are aligned with our LGBTQ+ funding priorities.

LGBTQ+ funding priorities The Envision Fund has established four priority areas for making grants: Creating an HIV-free generation against LGBTQ+ people in whatever form (such as employment, housing, immigration, access to health services, etc.) Supporting school-based programs that create a safe environment for all students, including LGBTQ+ students Promoting holistic reproductive health and gender-affirming healthcare by ensuring access to comprehensive sexuality education, voluntary contraception, abortion care, and other reproductive/sexual health services The LGBTQ+ fund for New Mexico For over two decades, the Envision Fund has enriched the lives of New Mexico’s LGBTQ+ population by providing financial support to nonprofits addressing the most critical needs facing the community.

In 1997, the National Lesbian and Gay Community Funding Partnership provided the Santa Fe Community Foundation (and 37 other community foundations across the country) with grants to enable them to establish LGBTQ+ funds. Foundation leadership, board members, and volunteer members of the committee helped grow the fund’s assets.

In 2012, the Fund changed its name from the Lesbian and Gay Community Funding Partnership to the Envision Fund to better reflect the changing face of the LGBTQ+ movement. That same year, to support efforts to achieve marriage equality in New Mexico, the fund established a Marriage Equality Task Force, a time-limited effort to raise funds from local donors to support the efforts of Why Marriage Matters New Mexico.

Envision Advisory Committee The fund is staffed by a committee of volunteers who represent the diversity of New Mexico’s LGBTQ+ population. Committee members raise money for the fund, host outreach events, and help make decisions about grants. Advisory Committee Members Envision Fund grant recipients Envision Fund considers grants in the fall, corresponding to the Santa Fe Community Foundation’s respective competitive grant cycle.
