Outdoor fund provides state's youth a path to experiencing NM's nature
Fortunately, the state’s Outdoor Equity Fund — OEF — is providing grants through public and private support to expand opportunities for tens of thousands of our youth. This support means more communities have the resources and educational programming (led by New Mexicans for New Mexicans) to experience the outdoors.By establishing the OEF, New Mexico has taken a significant step toward bridging the gap in access to outdoor recreation for our youth.

In Southern New Mexico, the OEF is having a positive impact on numerous communities. Doña Ana County has been fortunate to see a substantial number of organizations successfully securing grants, and they are utilizing these funds in diverse ways across the community.
