Our Work

Programmatic Areas

NMW.O works to advance our mission through our key programmatic work areas including:

Grantmaking

NMW.O’s grantmaking portfolios include gender justice, adolescent girls of color, healthy masculinities, and healing and self-care. We prioritize organizations led by or serving self-identified women and girls of color, transgender, and gender non-conforming people, and immigrant, low income, and rural communities.

Training and Education

NMW.O is committed to educating and learning with donors about issues of race, gender, and privilege. In the past, we have also offered community-oriented trainings around gender justice and anti-racism, as well as fundraising training with a social and gender justice lens.

Research

NMW.O’s research draws public attention to the issues impacting self-identified women and girls of color to influence policy and philanthropy while supporting community organizations with data relevant to their work. Our recent research includes Gender Justice at the Heart of New Mexico’s Pandemic Recovery and The Heart of Gender Justice in New Mexico: Intersectionality, Economic Security, and Health Equity.

Campaigns

Our communications campaigns seek to shift the narrative on gender, intersectional feminism, and social justice issues in New Mexico. We believe that clear and compelling communication that is both data and research-driven, as well as story-based and community-centered, is an essential part of creating social change.
