Santa Fe Fat Tire Society
Santa Fe Fat Tire Society
On Thursday, July 14th, the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society hosted a wildfire relief event at the Jean Cocteau Theater in the Santa Fe Railyard. They presented a series of short films and conversation to help raise funds for the New Mexico Cyclist for Wildfire Relief, benefiting the Santa Fe Community Foundation's Community Resiliency Fund.
"At our core the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society is a community organization -- albeit one with a mountain biking mission. However, when there are opportunities to help others in our community we can all come together and do our part. The catastrophic fires affect all of us, but some have lost everything. It is the least we can do to show solidarity and raise some funds to help support those who need it most." -- Kyle Klain
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."
