What We Do
Nonprofit Services at Gila Community Foundation: Empowering Excellence
At the Gila Community Foundation, we are committed to being a center of nonprofit excellence, serving as a role model for our community. We understand the internal challenges many nonprofits face and provide a range of public services designed to offer strategic guidance and support. Our goal is to empower nonprofits to achieve their full potential, improve their operational efficiency, and increase their impact.
Fiscal Sponsorships for Projects and Nonprofits
At the Gila Community Foundation, we offer fiscal sponsorships to support both emerging projects and state-approved nonprofits. Our fiscal sponsorship program allows individuals and groups to carry out charitable activities without the need to establish a 501(c)(3). This service provides vital administrative support, ensuring compliance with legal and tax requirements, while allowing sponsored projects to focus on their mission. By providing a trusted fiscal framework, we help organizations thrive and pursue their goals with confidence
Fundraising and Capital Campaign Assistance
Fundraising is the lifeblood of any nonprofit, and our fundraising and capital campaign assistance services are tailored to help organizations plan and execute successful fundraising initiatives. We offer comprehensive strategic support to develop and implement capital campaigns that align with your organization’s mission and goals. Whether you’re launching a new initiative or seeking to enhance an existing campaign, our team will work with you to ensure your fundraising efforts achieve maximum results.
Give Grandly: Empowering Nonprofits Across Southwest New Mexico
Give Grandly is the annual fundraising event hosted by the Gila Community Foundation that brings the community together in support of local nonprofits across Grant, Hidalgo, Luna, and Catron counties. Since its inception, Give Grandly has raised vital funds for organizations working to make a lasting impact in areas such as arts and culture, education, youth engagement, community health and wellbeing, and environmental preservation.
Give Grandly is a 24-hour online giving event that connects passionate donors with the causes that matter most in Southwest New Mexico. Held every year, this event shines a spotlight on the work of local nonprofits and encourages the community to come together to raise funds that support these essential organizations.
During Give Grandly, local nonprofits get the opportunity to share their stories, highlight their impact, and attract new supporters. From environmental conservation projects to youth programs and arts initiatives, this event empowers donors to invest in the future of their community.
Internal Policy Review and Best Practices Recommendations
Strong internal governance is critical to nonprofit success. Our internal policy review and best practices services are designed to ensure your organization’s policies and procedures align with the latest standards in nonprofit governance. We offer a thorough evaluation of your existing policies and provide recommendations for improvement. Additionally, we assist in the development of comprehensive policy and procedural manuals that will guide your organization toward smoother operations and future sustainability, ensuring you are prepared for potential structural audits.
