Organizations Filed Purposes: To promote the mental, moral, intellectual, physical and economic well-being of the inhabitants of the United States and, in particular, the inhabitants of Eddy County, New Mexico, by acting as a fiscal sponsor for charitable projects that do not have an established exempt organization.

Greater Artesia Foundation functions as a fiscal agent for education, community improvement and youth development locally for charitable projects that do not have an established organization.

Haven of Hope - Property was given to the Greater Artesia Foundation with the intent to have it ultimately given to the Haven of Hope once the new organization was established. Several companies were engaged to get the appraisal of the property as well as several surveys of the land. Property insurance was obtained in August 2020. Once that occurred, the property was transferred to Haven of Hope allowing the property to be improved for their purposes.

1st Street Project - This project is maintained by Artesia MainStreet, Inc. HollyFrontier gave their donation for work being done on First Street in Artesia, New Mexico to Greater Artesia Foundation and then it was passed on to Artesia MainStreet, Inc. These funds will be used to beautify the First Street project by planting trees along First Street in Artesia.

Ride for Bikes - 613 bicycles were awarded to the children of Southeastern New Mexico. The bikes were given to the kindergarteners attending public schools in Tatum, Lovington and Artesia, New Mexico. Bikes were purchased using funds donated by companies and individuals and were assembled and delivered by over 250 volunteers across the three towns. Ride for Bikes also provides scholarships to SENM high school graduates that have faced and overcome a challenge in their lives. The scholarship can be used for college or a trade school. Recipients are chosen by a five member volunteer committee that reviews essays submitted by applying seniors. The committee makes their decision based solely on the challenge of the student and the resilience displayed by the applying student to move forward. The scholarship is renewable for up to eight semesters, dependent on grades and attendance. This year, only one new scholarship winner was chosen. No fund raisers were held this year due to the COVID 19 restrictions put forth statewide.
