Future Fund

Future Fund of the Albuquerque Community Foundation

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 $700,000, and the group has awarded over $310,000 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 funding model is to grant unfunded Letters of Intent to the ACF Competitive Grant Program. 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!

We are seeking nominations for the Outstanding Philanthropist Award! This award is for someone who shares these values and was created to recognize talented and gracious young philanthropists in their field. This award will go to an individual under 40 years of age who has made a significant impact in our community and contributes to future generations. Award Recognition: Thursday, October 27, presented at the Future Fund 25th Anniversary Celebration.

2022 Honoree
Natasha Garcia, Executive Director
New Mexico Women's Reentry Center

Natasha's words..."Being a Philanthropist to me means doing the good work with a humble heart. As someone who struggled with drugs, I know how hard it can be to recover and build a self-sufficient life. If I can motivate, encourage and support someone else on their journey to success, then maybe we can make our community a better place one person at a time. I will continue to do the good work and to support our most vulnerable populations in New Mexico. Thank you for this opportunity."
