Giving Circles
Pool your donations with others for collective impact.
When we come together, our dollars have a greater impact. Through giving circles, you can have an active role in giving and grantmaking.
Future Fund
In 1997, the Future Fund started when 24 people decided to get together and pool their money to start an endowment. Since then, the Future Fund has grown to over 200 memberships, their endowment has over $800,000, and the group has awarded over $460,000 in grants to nonprofit organizations selected by the Future Fund membership. This group of young leaders is committed to making our community a better place to live. Future Fund’s mission is to acquaint younger members of the community with responsive philanthropy, develop community awareness and nurture future leadership.
Future Fund’s funding model is to grant unfunded Letters of Intent to the Foundation's Annual Grant Cycle. This model ensures that we are able to make impactful grants to as many interested local nonprofit organizations as possible.
Future Fund Membership starts at $240 per year (that’s just $20 per month). Your money goes directly into the Future Fund Endowment Fund, then you and your fellow members decide where to grant over $20,000 in earnings annually. For more information about the Future Fund, contact us!
Social Giving Club
The Social Giving Club is an opportunity to join with friends, enjoy social time and make a significant impact on the lives of others in Albuquerque.
The Social Giving Club is a new opportunity in philanthropy. When you join, you will make a bigger difference because of the collective impact you achieve when you combine your generosity with that of your friends.
PRIDE Circle
P: Philanthropy R: Resource Sharing I: Inclusivity D: Deliberate Grantmaking E: Endowment in Perpetuity
Launched in June 2023, the PRIDE Circle of Albuquerque Community Foundation serves the LGBTQIA+ community in the greater Albuquerque four-county area. Although Albuquerque has a deep history of queer activism, culture, and life, there are limited funding opportunities available for services directed to the LGBTQIA+ population.
The purpose of the PRIDE Circle is to build a legacy of support for Albuquerque’s LGBTQIA+ community as well as provide an accessible and inclusive space for members and allies of the community to gather and connect. Members contribute to a sustainable source of funding, engage in an annual inclusive grantmaking cycle, and cultivate community through events and connections. The PRIDE Circle fosters visibility, solidarity, and financial empowerment for LGBTQIA+ individuals and organizations.
