Deadline: July 7, 2025
Award Amount: $25,000 to $45,000
Match: None
Eligible Entities: Education Entities and Nonprofits
Description: The Educate 2 Elevate (e2e) Grant is a collaborative funding opportunity that brings together funds from across New Mexico to pool resources and engage in high impact grantmaking. This grant is a collaborative investment from funders in various sectors and we encourage organizations to demonstrate similar collaborative thinking when submitting applications.  In 2018, after the passing of one of our founding members, Jennifer Riordan, e2e was temporarily named in her honor in celebration of her passion for education. Today, the fund continues to celebrate the legacy of Jennifer and others who have dedicated their lives to community service.

This year’s RFP will focus on food access and community support for immigrant families in educational spaces. The Collaborative seeks to partner with nonprofits and educational institutions that are responding to the urgent and evolving food access needs of immigrant families and children in their community. While we are not experts in this field, we are committed to doing our best and learning as we go. We hope to demonstrate our dedication to supporting diverse community needs, beyond funding solely education programs, and hope you’ll agree this shows a broader and more responsive scope. Applicants must be serving students and their families in Central New Mexico: Bernalillo, Sandoval, Valencia and/or Torrance counties.
