Get Ready to Give Grandly: | ||||
On Saturday, May 4th, 2024, from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm, nonprofits will have the chance to connect face-to-face with donors and the communities they serve. It's a fantastic opportunity to showcase the impactful work being done right here in our midst. Expect a day filled with joy, featuring fun, food, music, and plenty of chances to make a difference. Bring your refillable water bottles and help us to make this a waste free event. Plenty of places to refill while you are visiting your favorite nonprofits. Don't miss out on this fabulous event! Thanks to Grant County Community Foundation and our participating sponsors for helping us reach our $500 match fund goals, ensuring each of the nonprofits receive at least $1,000! That means at least $65k will be funneled back into our community via these nonprofits. A little bit goes a long way to help keep our invaluable nonprofits to achieve their missions year after year. Can't make it in person? Not to worry! You can still support your favorite nonprofits by donating anytime between April 20th - May 20th through our giving platform, or fill out this PDF at the Grant County Community Foundation to give. Every contribution helps us continue to uplift and empower our community. | ||||

Join us for a vibrant celebration of giving back to our community at Main Street Plaza in Silver City, NM!
The doors are still open for The 30 Something's 2024 Grant Cycle, and we're eager to see your project proposals! For those unfamiliar with The 30 Something, we are a philanthropic community dedicated to Silver City and Grant County, striving to enact significant positive change in our region. Each member contributes $1,000 annually to our fund, allowing us to award grants of $30,000 to support nonprofit endeavors that may be otherwise challenging to fund through traditional means. Last year, we proudly awarded three grants of $30,000 each.
Join us for our upcoming capacity-building workshop tailored for social media beginners, scheduled for Wednesday, June 3rd, from 3 to 5 pm at the Silver City Library.
This workshop is designed to equip beginners with essential skills to navigate various aspects of social media effectively, including:
