        Hancock Family Foundation Grant Program

        The Hancock Family Foundation was a private philanthropic institution organized to provide leadership and encouragement to community-based charitable activities in New Mexico. In 2021, the Hancock Family decided to enlist the support of Albuquerque Community Foundation in administering the family grant program.

        In an attempt to ease the burden on the many nonprofits who apply and do not receive funding, the Hancock Family Fund will pivot to an invite-only model for accepting applications in 2025.  With a desire to fund in broad focus areas throughout the state and the nonprofit network of the Foundation, the Hancock Family has received far more applications than there is available funding to support.  Organizations invited to apply are not guaranteed funding but will have a greater chance at receiving funding with this model.  Invitations to apply will be offered based on funding history, available funds and the guidelines and criteria below.

        While statewide organizations with operating budgets of all sizes are eligible, preference will be given to organizations with operating budgets less than $2 million. Awards will be a maximum of $5,000. Organizations aligned with the criteria of the program and would like to be considered, please sign up below. Please note that completing this form does not guarantee that your organization will be invited to apply.

        1. Education: Areas of focus are children's literacy programs, English as a Second Language (ESL) education, and primary education enrichment.
        2. Health and Welfare: Areas of focus are shelters dedicated to women and children and those seeking safe havens and lodging during medical procedures. HFF stands as a constant source for aid for survivors of domestic violence, and contribute to women's health and family planning services, ensuring comprehensive care for vulnerable populations.
        3. Arts: HFF embraces community-based arts initiatives. With a focus on enriching the lives of youth, HFF stands behind programming that nurtures creativity and self-expression.
        4. Environmental and Animal Welfare: Areas of focus on environmental conservation, animal welfare and protection, and community-driven education to safeguard natural resources and ecosystems.
