Call to Action: LANLF Grants Community Advisory Committee

LANL Foundation seeks Grants Community Advisory Committee (GCAC) Members that are rooted in their communities, and that are committed to advocating for and amplifying the voices of our youth, teachers, school leaders, families, and others living and working within the ecosystem of education.

The GCAC will advise the LANL Foundation during the planning, implementation, and adjudication phases of the Foundation’s annual Outreach Grants process. Through each grant, we invest in individual, organizational and institutional capacity, to facilitate opportunities for broader collective learning and changemaking in the ecosystem of education.

The LANL Foundation is dedicated to making sure our work is guided by those most proximate to issues and those most suited to advocate for the needs of our Northern New Mexico communities. All our collaboratives, community meetings, cohorts, partnerships and volunteers help us connect with the people we are trying to serve, and ensure decision making power is shared and distributed equitably. 

Join us as a Grants Advisory Committee Member, and help us catalyze change within the ecosystem of education in order to grow the vitality of all our communities.

All meetings are mandatory, but will have both Zoom and in-person options to attend.

Meals will be provided at all in-person meetings.

Mileage reimbursement will be provided to those traveling to/from Committee meetings in Espanola.

  • Orientation Meeting | February 22, 2:00pm - 4:00pm

  • Reviewer Training Meeting | March 14, 11:45am - 1:45pm  9 (Zoom only)
