Overview

Mission

Through implementing an advocacy-focused movement as well as advancing collaboration and leadership, eenm will ensure every nm child has equitable access to environmental and outdoor learning.

What it reported doing in 2025

Environmental education association of nm (dba environmental education of New Mexico, eenm) is the only statewide organization that advances advocacy, collaboration and leadership to ensure that every New Mexico child has daily equitable access to the outdoors and environmental learning. Annually, eenm supports a network of over 160 organizations serving 270,000+ new mexican students (prek-12th grade) including teachers, educators, parents, and unlikely allies in related fields like outdoor recreation, education, local food, conservation, and environmental justice. In 2021 released a strategic vision for the community of New Mexico outdoor and environmental learning providers called every kid every day every way. Eenm co-facilitated an interagency task force on outdoor learning named through legislative action, launched an annual outdoor learning week initiative, and provided a series of recommendations from that task force to the legislature that led to additional outdoor learning initiatives in 2022. Additionally, eenm continued to host online community gatherings, and designed and facilitated a second year of the eenm fellowship program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 90% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
