📖 Our 2025 Annual Report is here!

What does a community foundation actually do?

Our Gila Community Foundation 2025 Annual Report tells that story—and more importantly, it tells the story of the people, organizations, donors, and partners who are strengthening Southwest New Mexico every day.

In 2025, more than $618,000 was invested back into our region through grants and direct support. But the impact goes far beyond a single number.

Inside the report, you’ll see how GCF is:

💙 Strengthening nonprofits and community leaders
🤝 Connecting generosity with opportunity
🚨 Helping our communities respond during emergencies
🌱 Building permanent charitable resources for future generations
🏗️ Providing the infrastructure that allows great community ideas to grow
💰 Stewarding nearly $1 million in charitable funds at the end of 2025

Most importantly, this report belongs to our community. None of this work happens without the donors, nonprofits, volunteers, board members, businesses, foundations, local governments, and community partners who believe in Southwest New Mexico.
