The Together Las Cruces fund will be managed and administered by the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico and will help support a grant to qualifying Dona Ana country residents who have been laid off or furloughed, or have experienced a significant loss of income as a result of the state’s executive order. To launch the fund, local businesses and donors have committed $125,000 dollars for the effort. Funds will be awarded in the amount of $100-$500, based on the applying individuals’ needs.
For additional information regarding this fund call 575-521-4794.
