The Bootheel Foundation, a beacon of support for education in Silver City, New Mexico, is proud to announce the allocation of over $40,000 in teacher grants to enhance learning experiences across various school districts in Southwest New Mexico and Southeast Arizona.

Understanding the pivotal role that educators play in shaping the future, the Bootheel Foundation is committed to investing in the development of innovative and impactful educational initiatives.

By providing these teacher grants, we aim to support the incredible work of educators who go above and beyond to inspire and nurture the next generation. We are excited to see the positive impact these grants will have on students and communities across our region."
