Overview
Mission
To improve the status, well-being and racial/ethnic equity of new mexicos children, families, and communities in the areas of health, education, and economic security by promoting public policies through credible research and effective advocacy.
What it reported doing in 2024
Education and early learning/care - nmvc believes that investing in the early years and in the education continuum is the best way to ensure that new mexicans have the best opportunities to succeed in school and throughout life. Program activities include: promoting access to quality home visits for infants and toddlers; supporting funding sources that sustain education programs; supporting methods for closing racial/ethnic acheivement gaps in all stages of education; and supporting efforts to improve educational outcomes for homeless youth. Racial/ethnic equity and civic participation nmvc believes that our collective and individual needs and voices should be represented in public policy and that the recognition of human and civil rights of all persons and families should not be limited by race, ethnicity, religion, ability, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or country of origin. This includes supporting just immigration reform, supporting policies that ensure access to public programs for all New Mexico residents regardless of language or immigration status, opposing voter suppression tactics, encouraging civic participation and open and transparent governmental processes, ensuring all New Mexico residents have the opportunity to participate in the policymaking process, supporting policies that address systemic inequities, and supporting policies that improve racial and gender equity in the state.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
