New Mexico Cyclists for Wildfire Relief
The Hermit's Peak / Calf Canyon Fire is heartbreaking. The size and scope of this tragedy are unprecedented. Our neighbors are suffering. New Mexico’s robust cycling community has come together to help!
In response to the largest wildfire in our state's history, a group of concerned cyclists created New Mexico Cyclists for Wildfire Relief. Together, they are raising awareness and donating to the Santa Fe Community Foundation's Community Resiliency Fund. 100% of the donations raised will go directly to our funding region of San Miguel and Mora Counties. Grants will support food and water distribution, emergency shelter, cash assistance, and other critical services.
Join our state's cyclist community by giving to the Fund today:
Q&A with Andrew Rudnick
We sit down with Andrew Rudnick, a seasoned philanthropic leader and fund advisor at the Santa Fe Community Foundation. Andrew’s journey into philanthropy is deeply rooted in personal experiences and shaped by extensive involvement in community foundations. "Community foundations use their staff and general operating funds to leverage what the donors believe in... They also bring generations of families together around philanthropy. The results are an exponential increase in philanthropic impact."
Q&A with Kelly Pope
With a background in educational technology and building curriculum for teachers and students, SFCF fund advisor Kelly Pope is no stranger to the transformative power of education. "There’s so much work to do here in northern New Mexico and it's exciting to work with change makers who have an aligned vision around helping students and families thrive."
Q&A with Alex Hanna
In 2013, Alex Hanna and his husband Yon Hudson sued the Santa Fe County Clerk to be legally married. Soon after, he was introduced to the Santa Fe Community Foundation’s Envision Fund, New Mexico's first and largest fund dedicated to LGBTQ+ causes.
