Congratulations to the 2025 Con Alma Health Foundation Multi-Year Grant Recipients!
Healthy Native Communities Partnership, Inc. ($50,000) To strengthen the community medicine curriculum of the Shiprock-UNM Family Medicine Residency by providing opportunities to work with Navajo communities and community resource networks through a Navajo cultural and community lens. A comprehensive residency requires developing excellent clinical skills and understanding the sociocultural context of the community served.
Memory Care Alliance ($40,000) To help develop low-cost, self-sustaining caregiver communities with tribal partners across the state ensuring families have ongoing, culturally grounded support for dementia care that can thrive for generations. Memory Care Alliance supports family caregivers across New Mexico who are caring for loved ones with dementia. Their grassroots, peer-based programs provide education, emotional support, and social connection so caregivers don’t have to face the journey alone.
New Mexico Veterans Integration Centers ($50,000) To improve access to housing, healthcare, and reintegration services for New Mexico’s 9,500 Indigenous/Native veterans. This project seeks to build sustainable partnerships with 23 tribal communities, reach underserved urban veterans, and integrate traditional healing into care models. Focused engagement in both rural and urban areas ensures the initiative reaches those most affected by service gaps and health disparities.
Cavern City Child Advocacy Center ($30,000) This project aims to establish in-person advocacy services for incarcerated survivors of sexual abuse in Eddy and Chaves Counties. It will provide direct advocacy inside detention facilities, formalize policies through MOUs, and build referral networks for post-release services such as counseling and housing support. The initiative seeks to improve institutional response, promote health equity, and support long-term healing for marginalized populations and their loved ones.
New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty ($50,000) To ensure public assistance systems are inclusive, accessible, and responsive for those most impacted by poverty and systemic inequity in all geographic areas of the state. This project will support community-driven solutions to protect access, simplify enrollment, and eliminate barriers to Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food assistance), and related public benefits programs.
New Mexico Doula Association ($50,000) To strengthen the grassroots infrastructure for Medicaid-funded doula care in New Mexico. Led by and for BIPOC, queer, rural, immigrant, and disabled communities, the New Mexico Doula Association is building pathways for doulas to access credentialing, billing, mentorship, and retention support. This broad, equitable focus seeks to promote fairness in Medicaid-funded doula care statewide.
Santa Fe Dreamers Project ($40,000) To deliver bilingual Know Your Rights legal workshops and community forums across New Mexico’s most marginalized immigrant and mixed-status communities. These trainings and community dialogues will help to dismantle fear, affirm self-determination, and ensure immigrant families shape the systems meant to serve them.
