Community
Partnerships
Through important community partnerships, the LANL Foundation
has had great success in expanding and leveraging community
resources for northern New Mexico. In 1998, the LANL
Foundation had the privilege of creating the Los
Alamos Employees' Scholarship Fund in partnership
with Los Alamos National Laboratory and contract employees
to provide scholarships that support the best and brightest
students in northern New Mexico pursuing undergraduate
degrees in fields serving the region. In 2002, the LANL
Foundation also helped form the New Mexico Funders' Collaborative
for Strong Latino Communities that leveraged $2 million
in Latino nonprofit technical assistance/capacity building
grants for New Mexico. And in 2005, the Foundation formed
the Collaborative for Early Childhood Learning to design
the framework for the First
Born® Program Model Replication
Initiative to improve the health and wellness of
first-time northern New Mexico families by building family
strengths
and competencies to meet life's inevitable challenges.
In 2006, the LANL Foundation had the privilege of partnering
with the NNM Math and Science Academy, LANL Vecinos Program,
EPS Technology Committee, Unidos: Funders Allied with
Youth, Resource Allocation Committees, and the First
Born® Funders' Collaborative and Evaluation
Steering Committee. Through these partnerships, the LANL
Foundation has been able to improve math and science
education, promote nonprofit volunteerism, bring state-of-the-art
technology to rural schools, address teen pregnancy,
judiciously evaluate community needs, and build a regional/statewide/
national funding vision and comprehensive, longitudinal
evaluation protocol for First Born®.
