The Paso del Norte Community Foundation announces scholarship season for 2024!

The Paso del Norte Community Foundation and Paso del Norte Health Foundation are pleased to announce a $100,000 gift from Reach Resilience, an Endeavors Foundation, to support the work of the El Paso Behavioral Health Consortium and partner organizations to improve access to mental health services for children and youth in the El Paso region.

Don’t leave your loved ones in the dark. As you compile lists of financial and personal information, be sure to include information about your donor-advised or other type of fund at the community foundation. Our team can help document your intentions.

Millennials and Generation Z are already focused on retirement, and 30% of them are setting their sights on becoming millionaires to achieve their goals. What this means for you and other charitable organizations is that it’s likely a smart move to expand your planned giving outreach strategies to include younger donors, as well as the traditional audience of generations who are retired or approaching retirement. Indeed, many of your younger donors are increasingly becoming investment savy and will understand the value of planning ahead.  

More often than not, boards of directors of nonprofit organizations are made up of business and community leaders who are not typically embedded in the day-to-day operations of charitable organizations. That’s why it’s important to focus on continuous learning opportunities for your board members, including (and especially) board members’ roles in maintaining your organization’s financial stability.

Many of you have established a donor-advised fund with the Paso del Norte Community Foundation or are considered doing so. Donor-advised funds are terrific vehicles and there are good reasons for their popularity. What you might not know, though, is that your donor-advised fund can serve as an important hub for all of your philanthropy and pave the way for you to expand your giving strategies into issue-specific giving, family giving, and legacy giving. Learn how the PdNCF can serve as your comprehensive philanthropic partner.

The Paso del Norte Community Foundation's annual Nonprofit Conference is designed for nonprofit executive leadership, staff, and board members to come together to think, develop, and grow. 

This season we give thanks.

The Paso del Norte Community Foundation was honored to celebrate our 10th anniversary working with individuals, families, corporations, foundations, and nonprofit organizations to improve health, education, social services, economic development, and quality of life in our binational, tri-state region.
