"Supporting our local non-profits matters now more than ever. They help strengthen our local community and address specific needs. Many are facing funding gaps with fewer volunteers and donors. Some depend on federal grants that no longer exist.
With local needs rising, please donate if you can, volunteer your time, or just attend and participate in their events or offerings.
Love local and give local! It matters!"

Give for the Future
The Los Alamos Community Foundation offers endowment funds as an opportunity for nonprofits to grow sustainable support. Investment income from the funds are distributed annually to provide sustainable support for designated organizations or interests. Give to an existing fund, such as the Little Theater, Family Council, LARSO, youth sports, or create a fund to support your interests.
Leave a Legacy
Making a planned gift through your estate allows you to invest in the future of the community you love. You can give assets like IRAs, securities, real estate, insurance benefits, and cash. You may be surprised to learn how easy it is to create a lasting legacy that can preserve your family name, honor loved ones, support a favorite nonprofit, minimize tax burdens, and/or support the community.
