OUR MISSION IS TO INSPIRE EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AND LEARNING IN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO.

K12 PROGRAM- OUR K-12 PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED BY AN ENDOWMENT THAT SUPPORTS PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN IN THE VICINITY SURROUNDING LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY (LOS ALAMOS, MORA, RIO ARRIBA SAN MIGUEL, SANDOVAL, SANTA FE, AND TAOS, COUNTIES). THE K12 PROGRAM FOCUSES ON FOUR PRIMARY AREAS: GROWING AND SUPPORTING TEACHERS; WHOLE CHILD DEVELOPMENT (THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL BEING OF OUR STUDENTS); ADVOCACY AND STEAM EDUCATION. WITHIN STEAM EDUCATION, THE FOUNDATION RUNS AND ADMINISTERS THE INQUIRY SCIENCE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM (ISEC). THROUGH ISEC WE PROVIDE K-6TH GRADE WORLD-CLASS NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARD SCIENCE CURRICULUM, MATERIALS AND QUALITY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. IN 2019, THE ISEC PROGRAM HAD PARTNERSHIPS WITH 46 ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ACROSS 6 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND 4 NORTHERN PUEBLOS, AND SERVED 600 TEACHERS AND 11,000 STUDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE LANL FOUNDATION GRANTS PROGRAM PROVIDED A TOTAL OF $792,310 THROUGH 144 GRANTS TO NON-PROFITS, SCHOOLS, AND ORGANIZATIONS IN OUR REGION. THE TOTAL OF $607,410 WAS IN SUPPORT OF K-12 SPECIFIC INITIATIVES WHILE $100,000 WAS AWARDED IN UNRESTRICTED GRANTS TO FUND COMMUNITY-BASED PROJECTS SUPPORTING LIFELONG LEARNERS OF ALL AGES. WE SEEK OUT AND LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL FUNDING WITH PARTNERS SUCH AS WK KELLOGG FOUNDATION, LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY AND TRIAD NATIONAL SECURITY, LLC. THESE PARTNERS ALLOWED US TO GIVE AN ADDITIONAL $84,800 TOWARDS STEM CAPACITY BUILDING, SCHOLARSHIPS, COLLEGE AND CAREER PATHWAY INITIATIVES, AND COMMUNITY CAPACITY BUILDING GRANTS IN SUPPORT OF THE EIGHT NORTHERN PUEBLOS EARLY CHILDHOOD INITIATIVES.

SCHOLARSHIPS - A VARIETY OF ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS ARE PROVIDED TO STUDENTS PURSUING UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES OR CONTINUING THEIR EDUCATION AT REGIONAL COLLEGES TOWARD DEGREES OR CERTIFICATIONS. OUR SCHOLARSHIPS ARE MERIT BASED BUT ACCOUNT FOR STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND COMMUNITY SERVICE. EACH YEAR, THE FUNDING FOR THESE SCHOLARSHIPS IS RAISED PRIMARILY FROM LOS ALAMOS NATIONAL LABORATORY (LANL) EMPLOYEES, RETIREES AND CONTRACTORS. ALL OF THE SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS RESIDE IN ONE OF SEVEN NORTHERN NEW MEXICO COUNTIES: LOS ALAMOS, MORA, RIO ARRIBA, SAN MIGUEL, SANDOVAL, SANTA FE, AND TAOS.

EARLY CHILDHOOD - THE LANL FOUNDATION INVESTS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD STRATEGIES INCLUDING HOME VISITING PROGRAMS THAT PROVIDE EARLY EDUCATION AND STRENGTHEN THE ROLE OF PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS AS THE CHILD'S FIRST TEACHERS. WE ALSO WORK WITH THE EIGHT NORTHERN INDIAN PUEBLO COUNCIL (ENIPC) AND EIGHT NORTHERN PUEBLOS WITH PROGRAMS AND SYSTEMS TO SUPPORT YOUNG CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE CREATED THE RIO ARRIBA COUNTY EARLY CHILDHOOD COLLABORATIVE TO ALIGN EFFORTS AROUND EARLY CHILDHOOD IN RIO ARRIBA COUNTY AND WORK ON STATEWIDE EARLY CHILDHOOD ADVOCACY.
