ABQ Involved is an innovative and helpful philanthropic group here in our community. The Storehouse is happy to be a beneficiary of their grants and volunteer efforts. Most recently, ABQ Involved supported Storehouse New Mexico with a $2,500 grant that produced 12,500 meals for people experiencing hunger.
Every month, ABQ Involved gives a member-supported grant to a local nonprofit. You can become a member of ABQ Involved by committing to a monthly recurring donation of any amount that fits your budget. This is a great way to get involved in the community, but also to get more involved with the work of Storehouse New Mexico.
ABQ Involved organizes at least three community service projects per month. They use social media and an online calendar for event sign-up. They create an easy way for Albuquerque residents to find and participate in community service. They offer weekend, family-friendly events, as well as lunchtime and weekday events that easily fit into busy schedules. ABQ Involved collects donations from members, a process they began in 2013. ABQ Involved makes it easy to engage the community through philanthropy and service to local nonprofits. The goal is simple, connect local residents to nonprofits and ignite their passion and inspire them to get involved in the community.
Over the past six years, ABQ Involved grants have supported varied organizations that represent the depth and breadth of Albuquerque’s diverse nonprofit sector. ABQ Involved has roots that go back to Austin where a few of the founders have ties and modeled ABQ Involved after Austin Involved.
Grant recipients, such as the Storehouse, may use the funds they receive from ABQ Involved for any purpose. According to founder Shana Baker, “ABQ Involved intentionally provides money that is nimble and unencumbered. The Storehouse has been lucky to have ABQ Involved join us as volunteers as well. On their most recent visit volunteers sorted food, helped families with their groceries, and supported the Storehouse staff with other general duties. Thank you to ABQ Involved for your support of the Storehouse!
