Because of you, Supporting Community has raised $44,695.00 to assist with COVID-19 relief. 100% of our funding has gone directly to the 13 recipients we have supported to date but there is so much more we can all do to help our Tribal neighbors and northern New Mexico communities.
We'd like to introduce our newest Supporting Community partners/recipients!
Pueblo of Nambe
The Supporting Community Grant is helping Tewa Roots Society and the Pueblo of Nambe to connect water and sewer lines for the implementation of an experiential education youth-build project called Resilience and Empowerment through Sustainability (RES). The facility will be utilized to support life-saving clinical services, as well as doubling as a COVID-19 related support center.
Ancestral Lands
Ancestral Lands, a program of Conservation Legacy, engages Native American youth and young adults in paid conservation, recreation, and natural and cultural resource protection projects across the Southwest. Funding from Cornerstones’ Supporting Community has allowed the organization to issue face coverings and KN-95 face masks to their participants.
Zuni Emergency Food Pantry
Elders and those who lack transportation and financial support from the Zuni community have been the hardest hit by the pandemic. Funding from Supporting Community supports the efforts of several moms, who have created a mobile pantry that provides non-perishable foods, personal cleansing items, and cleaning supplies for those who cannot leave their homes.
Pueblo of Acoma
The Supporting Community grant provided the Pueblo of Acoma with sanitizer, gloves, and 3-ply masks to continue safeguarding against and preventing the COVID-19 virus. The grant also included a donation of meat, a staple that has been not readily available to the community.
