Grant County Community Foundation is the founder and has been the primary sponsor for Give Grandly since its inception in 2014. Without your community foundation's vision, leadership and financial backing, Give Grandly would never have been possible. Over the seven years that we have sponsored Give Grandly, we have raised more than $900,000 for local organizations in donations and matching funds—last year alone we raised almost $222,000. Give Grandly is something Southwest New Mexicans can be very proud of.

Grant County Community Foundation is now the fiscal sponsor for the Give Grandly Coalition of Nonprofits. The Foundation does not take any fees from the dollars raised at Give Grandly—all donations and matching funds go directly to the designated nonprofit. 

The Foundation is proudest of the collaboration between all the nonprofits to make each Give Grandly better than the last. In 2014, local nonprofits had never even been in the same room together. Give Grandly has provided a platform that has generated trust and collaboration and helped build a true nonprofit community.

Give Grandly is an initiative we are very proud of, and we hope that you will consider a donation to the Foundation so that many more initiatives like Give Grandly can occur. Like all other nonprofits in the area, we too need to keep our lights on and our office running so we can advance philanthropy in our beautiful corner of New Mexico.
