Give Grandly, the annual giving fair and online event for donating to local nonprofits, starts online tonight at 12:01am and runs until April 24. Online donations can be done by going to www.GiveGrandly.org (or www.southernnewmexicogivingday.org /) and once there, just enter "Silver City" or Grant County in the search bar to get local nonprofits.
This year, Give Grandly and Southern New Mexico Giving Day of Las Cruces have combined. The Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico is coordinating the event which will happen simultaneously in Las Cruces, so you will find many nonprofits from Las Cruces at the website (that is why you need to search for Silver City or Grant County).

(Mimbres, NM, April 13, 2026) — The Gila National Forest, together with partners Bat Conservation International and Fowler Brothers Construction, will be completing much needed road repairs on National Forest System Road 150 ("North Star Road") near Diamond Creek in late April and early May 2026.
Work is scheduled to begin the week of April 13 and forest visitors should expect temporary road closures Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Visitors may also occasionally encounter heavy haul-truck traffic between Beaverhead Workcenter and the project area.
Fowler Brothers Construction will be upgrading road infrastructure on a 1.7-mile segment of the North Star Road between mileposts 33 and 35, just north of Diamond Creek. Planned work includes installing new culverts and drainage features, widening the road, adding durable road surfacing, and improving stormwater drainage and management.
