Overview

Mission

Cplc New Mexico, inc. Is dedicated to improving the economic well-being and quality of life for low-income residents of northern New Mexico, while seeking to preserve the area's unique cultural, historical and social traditions and way of life.

What it reported doing in 2024

The child adult care food program New Mexico is a flow through grant from the usda to the state to sponsoring organizations like chicanos por la causa, cplc for homes and day care centers to get reimbursed for the food they are currently feeding children across the state of New Mexico on a monthly basis. Currently, the cplc-cacfp program sponsors over 400 home care/day care centers and 50 affiliated and unaffiliated centers including at-risk and head start programs. This translates to serving pretty close to 300,000 healthy meals and snacks to children 13 years and younger each month at homes and centers across the state of New Mexico. This is a win-win for New Mexico because it addresses the food insecurity issue of children not eating, and it teaches children to eat healthier and gives more choices to eating healthier foods. The impact of feeding children is great; children are better prepared to learn when they eat, they are less likely to eat junk food, they learn what the body needs, what is healthy, and what is nutritious. Therefore the cacfp-nm program isn't just about getting your money back when you buy food to feed kids it's also about educating our community, gaining opportunities to grow your business, it about working with other programs and partners and most of all its about taking care of our children and securing our future.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
