Building Opportunity. Strengthening Communities.

The Southern New Mexico Project works alongside local communities to create equitable opportunities, support families, and build a stronger future for Southern New Mexico—together.

Our Mission

The Southern New Mexico Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing social, economic, and community well-being across Southern New Mexico through education, advocacy, and grassroots collaboration.

We partner with residents, organizations, and leaders to address local challenges and create solutions that are sustainable, inclusive, and community-driven.

Why Our Work Matters

Southern New Mexico faces unique challenges—but also incredible strength. Our work centers local voices, supports underserved communities, and turns shared goals into meaningful action.

By investing in people and partnerships, we help create pathways to opportunity that benefit families today and future generations tomorrow.

Rooted in Southern New Mexico

Our work is grounded in the lived experiences of Southern New Mexicans. We believe the people closest to the challenges are also closest to the solutions.

Everything we do is shaped by collaboration, trust, and respect for the communities we serve.
