Overview

Mission

Teaching children about their language, culture, history and arts. Using contemporary and traditional arts to help sustain and preserve the lifeways of Taos Pueblo community.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Chamiza Foundation granted us $12,540 to build a traditional horno (oven) for the use of the Center and community members. We had 18 children, ages 4-12yo and it will benefit an unknown amount of community members through the use of the horno. The Center will also use the horno to provide baked goods for the children in our program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
