Pool your donations with others for collective impact.

When we come together, our dollars have a greater impact. Through giving groups, you can have an active role in giving and grantmaking

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 $360,000 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!

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.

Nonprofits must allocate significant resources to their annual cycle of raising funds, asking for donations, and applying for grants. The PRIDE Circle aims to combat that resource drain by establishing a funding source focused on Albuquerque organizations that specifically and intentionally provide services to the city's LGBTQIA+ community.

The PRIDE Circle also focuses on providing an accessible and inclusive space for members and allies of the community to gather and connect. Funds given at this time will help seed a permanent endowment, which will be distributed into the community annually and build into a resource that serves the city and its LGBTQIA+ residents in perpetuity.
