Taos Ski Valley raises $114k for the Fund for Taos!
Taos Ski Valley raises $114,000 for the Fund for Taos For immediate release:3/12/2020 For more information, contact:TCF Staffinfo@taoscf.org The Village of Taos Ski Valley community raised $114,000 for the Fund for Taos, which is the specialized coronavirus relief, recovery, and resiliency fund created by the Taos Community Foundation. The $114,000 came from Village residents, businesses, resort staff, and homeowners, and includes an earlier $25,000 donation and an additional $25,000 matching grant from the Taos Ski Valley Foundation, the New Mexico affiliate of Louis Bacon’s Moore Charitable Foundation. “The incredible generosity of this tiny community is staggering and we are deeply grateful for their donations,” said Lisa O’Brien, Director, Taos Community Foundation. “These funds will help us serve area residents who are struggling amid the pandemic. What makes this fundraising extraordinary is that the Village of Taos Ski Valley is also experiencing economic stress due to the closure of the ski resort, yet the residents and businesses stepped up anyway.” With fewer than 90 full-time residents, the Village of Taos Ski Valley community was able to raise such significant funds due to the $25,000 matching grant from the Taos Ski Valley Foundation. Taos Ski Valley, Inc.’s executive staff made a large contribution and the ski resort helped spread the word by encouraging skiing enthusiasts to donate, including those who don’t live in New Mexico. Local businesses, including ski rental shops, restaurants, and goods providers also made generous contributions. “During this unprecedented time, the Taos Ski Valley community has demonstrated how a small group of people can drive extraordinary results. I’m proud of our local community’s tremendous efforts and generosity in the face of this pandemic,” said Louis M. Bacon, owner of Taos Ski Valley and founder of the Taos Ski Valley Foundation. Taos Community Foundation has already distributed more than $200,000 in relief aid directly into the Taos area, including helping feed schoolchildren, supporting senior care, and working with shuttered businesses. The additional $114,000 from the Taos Ski Valley community will enable that work to continue throughout the summer as the community continues to manage the negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

This past June at our Grant Awards Reception, held at Taos Country Club, Taos Community Foundation awarded nearly $180,000 in community grants to area non-profits. Through a competitive Letter of Inquiry process hosted this spring, the Foundation’s Core Grants Committee, comprised of 10 community members prepared a recommended grants docket for funding consideration. Funding across 7 community pathways, grants were awarded for Arts and Culture, Basic Needs, Community Advocacy, Education, Environment, Health, and Youth. At this annual event, grant checks were awarded to 50 local non-profit organizations and community projects. In attendance were representatives from each of the recipient programs, including “Carmel-by-the-Sea” the beautiful Labrador Retriever from Assistance Dogs of the West. The grants were funded by both Foundation Field of Interest and Donor Advised funds, as well as by some individual donors who elected to partner with the Foundation with gifts they requested remain anonymous. Grants ranged in size from $1,000 to the largest grant of $16,500 that was presented to the DreamTree Project, providing emergency and transitional shelter services to teens. As one attendee remarked walking out the door, “what a true testament to the strength of our non profit community – so much talent and dedication in the room. I was so pleased to be part of this event”. Taos Community Foundations total in grants awarded this fiscal year, was just shy of $1.1 million, which well surpassed last year’s granting total.
