Groundworks New Mexico's Social Sector Institute is proud to announce the incredible organizations chosen to participate in the Accessing Public Funding Project’s shared learning cohorts. The learning and networking opportunities these organizations will engage with are designed to help them successfully pursue public funding opportunities while fulfilling their missions.
After a competitive application process, the following 42 organizations were selected to participate in three cohorts: Food & Housing Security, Social Services & Early Childhood Education, and K-12 Education & Youth Services. On November 14, cohort members gathered in Albuquerque to connect with each other and identify their organization’s needs using tools developed by GNM. In addition to group learning, participating organizations will receive targeted Technical Assistance for their funding goals through July of 2026.
