We are so excited to reconvene AFP-New Mexico's annual Funders Forum. For those who have not attended before, this event has provided a unique opportunity for nonprofit professionals to connect with funding organizations and their staff in order to share priorities and programs, as well as to gather details regarding the coming year's funding opportunities. During the pandemic, this program transitioned to a virtual model, which has increased access and diversified our participation to better reflect organization delivering and funding a wide variety of services across the state of New Mexico. In addition to the information and resources shared during each session, participants will receive a digital copy of AFP-New Mexico's Annual Funders Guide, which serves as a resource and reference for grant writers and development professionals who are looking to identify potential community funding sources and grant opportunities. Funders who would like to participate and/or be included in the 2022 funders guide should complete this form: https://afpnm.wufoo.com/forms/m1qargcl0qpsviy/. All other participants can register for the Funders Forum below.
