On the eastern wall of Albuquerque Community Foundation’s downtown headquarters, a tree reaches skyward, its roots pressing into the painted earth, its canopy spilling over the building’s edge as if the natural world refused to be contained.
The mural, “In the Garden of Sharing,” was created by Albuquerque artist PAZ and students from Working Classroom in 2019. It is beautiful on its own terms. But for people who know the story, it is something more.
Jennifer Riordan was a leader, a philanthropist and a partner to the Foundation. She worked alongside staff and donors to ask, year after year, where resources could do the most good.
When she died in a tragic accident in 2018, her husband, Michael, and their family began searching for a way to keep her spirit alive in the community she loved. The guiding principle was a family motto Jennifer often referenced: be kind, loving, caring and sharing.
Sharing came first. The mural, commissioned through the Jennifer Riordan Foundation in partnership with Albuquerque Community Foundation, was the opening chapter of a larger effort to honor each of those four values through public art. Then-President and CEO Randy Royster, and past staff members, Kelli Cooper and Joanna Colangelo, helped make it possible, partnering with the Riordan family to match funding and expand the scale of the piece.
This was one of many moments across more than two decades in which Randy and staff have helped the Foundation grow something larger than what any one person could have planted alone.
The mural, with its imagery of deep roots and living things reaching past their boundaries, is the inspiration for this year’s annual report theme — In Bloom.

A letter from Emily Allen
Board Chair
Among the most important responsibilities of a Board is ensuring strong, inspired leadership for the organization we serve. In 2025, that responsibility took center stage. After a thoughtful and inclusive search, we said a heartfelt goodbye to Randy Royster and welcomed Marisa Magallanez as our new CEO.
Randy has been a pillar of the Foundation. Over 21 years, he has built something extraordinary: an organization grounded in respect, trust and deep community connection. His legacy is not only the tremendous growth the Foundation has achieved, but also the strong foundation he leaves behind. We are grateful for his commitment and wish him every joy as he steps into this well-earned next chapter.
The search for his successor revealed something beautiful: the extreme level of care this community has for the Foundation, and the Foundation has for this community. People showed up. They shared their voices, their hopes and their vision for the future. That level of "give-a-darn" is something I will not soon forget.
What makes Marisa exactly right for this moment is the way she holds two things at once: the momentum of all we have built and a genuine openness to what comes next. She has articulated so beautifully what she calls the "big tent" mentality. That’s the idea that the Foundation has a place for everyone.
She moves forward with grace, with curiosity and above all, with an extraordinary depth of care. Critically, she listens. She is never fixed in the way things have always been done. That aspiration is exactly what this role calls for.
The Board of Trustees has also been energized. This is not a rubber stamp board. These are dedicated individuals who challenge us, support us, and lean in with full hearts for the good of the Foundation and the communities we serve. Their questions are good ones: How do we have the greatest impact? How do we serve as a hub for the changemakers in our community?
As we look to the year ahead, I am excited as the Foundation is embarking on a new strategic planning process. This is an opportunity to listen deeply, hear community voices and shape our work with humility and intention. We are watching Rooted Together, our community giving initiative, grow into something powerful and galvanizing. And we are moving forward with a new leader who is ready to meet the moment.
Albuquerque is an incredible community. Resilient, creative and full of potential. Let’s get after it.

A Farewell from Randy Royster
Outgoing President & CEO
"In the Garden of Sharing" was created by local artist PAZ and interns from Working Classroom in memory of our dear friend and donor Jennifer Riordan. The mural reflects a message Jennifer shared often: be kind, be caring, be loving, be sharing. Over my nearly 21 years at the Foundation, I have come to believe those words capture the spirit of philanthropy better than any formal definition.
When I joined the Foundation in 2005, it managed just over $44 million in assets and operated with a staff of five. Today, thanks to the generosity of our donors, the leadership of our Board of Trustees, and the commitment of our staff of 20, the Foundation stewards nearly $200 million in assets. That growth represents the trust our community has placed in the Foundation and a shared belief that philanthropy can create meaningful change.
In addition to the growth in assets under management, we expanded our donor base, strengthened our Board of Trustees and professional staff, and ensured that the Foundation reflects the diverse community we serve.
A cornerstone of my time here was securing a permanent home for the Foundation. A generous gift from the Marianetti family allowed us to establish our headquarters in the historic Champion Building in downtown Albuquerque. That space has become more than an office. It is a place where partners gather, ideas are shared, and the community comes together to address important challenges.
We also sought new ways to address the underlying issues facing our community. In 2014 we created Economic and Workforce Development as a formal field of interest in our grantmaking. At the time, this was a new concept for community foundations.
Today, many foundations across the country have adopted a similar focus, recognizing that creating opportunity, ensuring quality education and job training for all, and addressing poverty must be part of building healthier communities.
And we broadened our work by launching the New Mexico Community Trust, which allows us to partner with communities across the state that may not have access to community foundation services. It also allows us to support smaller community foundations through providing contract back-office services.
Throughout these nearly 21 years, one belief has guided my work: Everyone has something to offer. Philanthropy takes many forms. Some give financial resources. Others give time, knowledge or connections. Each plays a role. When people come together with a shared desire to improve their community, the results are extraordinary.
As I step away from leadership, I do so with deep confidence in the future of Albuquerque Community Foundation. Marisa Magallanez brings vision, warmth and thoughtful leadership to the role of President and CEO. She is supported by an exceptional team of professionals.
The "In the Garden of Sharing" mural reminds us that generosity grows when it is nurtured and shared. I look forward to seeing how this community continues to plant those seeds for years to come.

A letter from Marisa Magallanez
Incoming
President
& CEO
One of those neighbors had a granddaughter named Vanessa. She used to wander into our house as a little girl. She called my mom “good neighbor.” I’ve been thinking about that phrase a lot lately.
It captures something I believe about this work. At its core, philanthropy is about being a good neighbor. It’s about showing up, paying attention and caring about what happens to the people around you. That idea is woven into everything Albuquerque Community Foundation did in 2025 — and everything I hope we’ll do together going forward.
This letter is a little unusual. I’m writing as your new President and CEO about a year I spent as COO, watching Randy Royster’s final year up close. More than 20 years of building something, and he spent his last year reflecting on it with equal measures of pride and grace. He moves through a room the way good neighbors do: fully present, genuinely interested, making people feel like the most important person in the conversation. I’ve tried to carry that with me into this role.
The work he helped build was on full display in 2025. Our Rooted Together grant program put community-informed, long-term investment into the International District. Rooted Together is not just about the dollars. It is about a genuine spirit of partnership that we believe is what creates lasting change.
The launch of the Future Future Fund brought children into our building for the first time in a long time. Watching those kids run through our doors, I thought about the endowments we manage for generations we’ll never meet. Those children are part of why we do this work.
I stepped into this role on January 1, 2026 with intention. The months between learning I had been named as President and CEO and actually taking office offered something I didn’t expect — a kind of in-between space where I could do both the strategic work of planning and the soul work of figuring out what kind of leader I wanted to be. A kid from Mesquite. A Gadsden High graduate. A UNM Lobo. A daughter and a sister. Someone who has spent 14 years inside a nonprofit, navigating the same funding cycles and organizational pressures our partners face every day. All of that is what I’m bringing to this work.
What gives me energy right now is the generosity I see everywhere I look, in our donors, our nonprofit partners and community members who believe in what Albuquerque and New Mexico can become. I believe in it, too. The challenges are real, and we don’t shy away from them. But our path forward, as it always has been, is built on love, hope and our fundamental responsibility to one another.
Let’s be good neighbors, together.

Rooted Together
Rita was a retired nurse who had worked hard
her whole life. When an outside investor bought her apartment complex in Albuquerque’s International District and evicted the tenants, the promise of help finding new housing never came.

June’s Senior
Cat Rescue
Encuentro
When Ilse Grijalva’s mother walked into Encuentro’s ESL class years ago, she was like most of the students there — an immigrant parent navigating a world that hadn’t been designed for her. She learned English. She learned how to use a computer, how to send an email and how to make a presentation. Today she’s enrolled in classes at a community college, working toward a career.
Arts Hub
When a group of Albuquerque artists founded Arts Hub in 2018, they started not with a program but with a question: What is actually holding local artists back? Before launching anything, they surveyed and interviewed Albuquerque artists. What they heard was consistent. Artists felt isolated, lacked practical business knowledge, and struggled to find affordable space to create and show their work. Those findings shaped everything Arts Hub has built since.
Keres Children’s Learning Center
On the morning of March 31, 2026, ground broke in Cochiti Pueblo on a 7,000-square-foot building that has been more than a decade in the making. For Keres Children’s Learning Center (KCLC), the new center is more than a building. It’s a promise to the children inside it, to the elders whose voices will fill its classrooms, and to a community determined to carry its language forward.
Casa Esperanza
When Lindsey arrived in Albuquerque from Arizona, she had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She was in her 40s and far from home, facing treatment alone. For the next five months, Casa Esperanza became her home, and the people inside it became her community. She made friends with other residents, became a familiar face at the organization’s events, and eventually, moved to a new town with a fellow resident she’d met during her stay.
Youth Agricultural Cooperative
On a bright spring morning in March, six high school students gathered in the heart of the International District to plant potatoes with the Youth Agricultural Cooperative (YoAgCo). Co-director Andrew Trujillo keeps things moving and provides expertise, but leaves all decision-making to the students.
New Mexico Dream Team
The roots of New Mexico Dream Team (NMDT) reach back to a parking lot at Capitol High School in Santa Fe, where undocumented students who couldn’t get parking permits organized a walkout in 2002. The action stuck. Those students went on to help pass laws granting undocumented New Mexico residents driver’s licenses and access to state colleges and financial aid.

An endowment is one of the most powerful tools a nonprofit can have — a permanent fund that grows over time and provides a reliable source of support year after year. The Foundation considers effective stewardship of nonprofit endowment funds essential to sustaining the strength of our community.
By managing these funds with care, we help organizations plan for the future, achieve their goals and continue meeting the needs of those they serve.

Marie Capitan Learning Basket Scholarship
In Navajo tradition, a basket is given at birth and stays with you throughout your life, marking every milestone in between and mapping, in its woven design, the mountains and valleys of a life.
National Museum of Nuclear Science & History
From the “secret city” of Los Alamos to the world’s first atomic test at the Trinity Site, New Mexico sits at the heart of nuclear history. The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History, a congressionally chartered nonprofit, has spent 57 years telling that story.
Robert P. Tinnin, Jr.
Robert P. Tinnin, Jr. was a hometown boy in the truest sense. Born and raised in Albuquerque, he spent nearly his entire life in the same neighborhood, gathering wild asparagus along the ditches, grabbing green chile enchiladas at Duran’s, and making sure he was always home on Christmas Eve for the luminarias. No matter how far he and his wife, Libby, traveled, Albuquerque called them back.
Dr. Nancy A. Croker & Dr. Joe Gorvetzian
When she was 10 years old, Nancy Croker played piano one night while she and her family sang for patients at a hospital treating mental illnesses. That was the night Nancy decided to spend her life caring for other people. “I saw that all these people and their families needed help, and that I could give it to them. I could make a difference,” Nancy says. And that, she has.

Future Fund
Future Fund is a giving circle for young professionals focused on redefining philanthropy and fostering community engagement. Since 1997, the group has awarded nearly $460,000 in unrestricted grants and grown its endowment to more than $800,000.
Social
Giving Club
Social Giving Club brings together philanthropists who believe giving is better (and more fun) when you do it together. Founded in 2015, the Club pools member contributions to grow an endowment and award grants to local nonprofits, all while hosting quarterly social events that have built genuine community along the way.
PRIDE Circle
Nationally, just 0.17% of all charitable giving goes to organizations helping LGBTQ+ people live safe, dignified lives.1 Albuquerque Community Foundation saw this gap, and in June 2023, launched something both simple and transformative. The PRIDE Circle was created to ensure that LGBTQIA+ communities in the greater Albuquerque area are not only seen and celebrated but also meaningfully supported.

Support the Foundation
Since 1981, we’ve been on a mission to serve our community by mobilizing and stewarding resources to create equitable opportunities for all. We’re about supporting Albuquerque and the surrounding four counties by teaming up with donors, nonprofits, funders and community leaders.
From scholarships to housing support, we’re making sure that resources reach those who need them most. No donation is too big or small—when we pool our resources, the impact is not just significant, but also inspired and forever.
