About United Way of North Central New Mexico

Headquartered in Albuquerque, United Way of North Central New Mexico (UWNCNM) serves the people of five counties: Bernalillo, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Torrance, and Valencia. Our mission is connecting people to opportunities and services to equitably improve lives and strengthen communities. UWNCNM brings together donors, businesses, nonprofits, government, and others to create better solutions to our community’s challenges. Our programs and donor dollars ensure that individuals and families in central New Mexico have the opportunity to achieve potential through education, that they are healthy and safe, are financially stable and live life with dignity. In addition, UWNCNM has a strong commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and upholds the following values: We value the visible and invisible qualities that make you who you are. We welcome that every person brings a unique perspective and experience to advance our mission and progress our fight for the health, education, and financial stability of every person in every community. We believe that each United Way community member, donor, volunteer, advocate, and employee must have equal access to solving community problems. We strive to include diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at the center of our daily work. We commit to using these practices for our business and our communities. OUR IMPACT GOALS It’s all about building a strong foundation for local families and giving kids the support they need to be successful today in school and tomorrow in the workforce. By providing support that will improve outcomes for all families, we’ll help assure our communities thrive and carry that success from generation to generation. We have ambitious goals, powerful strategies, and the ability to direct dollars and other resources where they will do the most good. DIFFERENCE-MAKING DONORS With the help of our generous donors and volunteers, we help the community in three ways. First, we give like-minded nonprofits the resources they need. Second, we mobilize individuals and local businesses to take action. For example, our Workplace Giving program is one of the most impactful programs of UWCNM. Making a donation through work may be something businesses have not previously considered. However, we encourage them to join with their fellow employees to give back in an unexpectedly fulfilling way. Third, we provide people with the resources that they need the most. Our services – 211 Information and Referral helpline, the Family Advocacy Center and Tax Help New Mexico – connect people with information and support, enabling them to tackle challenges with tools that make a critical difference. There are many problems surrounding our community and although we have hope, we can’t fight alone. If more people get involved, we can improve more lives. We encourage you to reach out to a UWCNM representative or to peruse our website to familiarize yourself with the many, many resources we provide to the community. United, we can change lives.
