Final Reports—July 2025

All of our grantees are required to use our grants program Grant360 to submit, track, and report on projects. Organizations provide quarterly reports with updates on progress as well as the tracking parameter they have chosen. At the end of a year-long project, organizations provide a final report. In this series of quarterly posts, we will present final reports submitted by our grantees.

Trees, Water, People ($15,000)—TWP submitted their final report for the grant received from the Foundation to support their Restoring and Protecting Pueblo Lands in NM Jemez Mountains. TWP reported that replacing fencing lost to fire on Pueblo lands was completed at the end of 2024. However, TWP reports that the impact of our grant continues as it has provided the catalyst for doubling the size of the fencing project by adding 2.5 more miles. They also reported that this difficult work, which extends through rough terrain, has been time consuming and daunting.  In spite of these difficulties, completing the project proved transformative for their Pueblo partners.

SITE Santa Fe ($10,000)—SITE Santa Fe submitted a detailed final report, which included photos, for the grant received to support their Public Programs for "Dahodiyinii – Sacred Places" exhibit by Dakota Mace. They reported that on May 18th, 2025, SITE Santa Fe hosted a workshop, Earth + Light.  Twenty participants worked with alternative photographic practices, ceramics, and handmade paper-making to create their own pieces. They also reported that on the same day, SITE Santa Fe hosted a free book club-style discussion, which focused on "Here on No Further: Material Rhetoric in Loom with Textile" by Kira Dominguez Hultgren. This text informed Mace’s exhibit. Overall, they had 625 participants in the public programming funded by the FHL Foundation, 389 of these were local students who experienced guided tours, hands-on workshops, and dye-garden workshops that were part of Mace’s exhibit.

Santa Fe Conservation Trust ($18,000)—SF Conservation Trust submitted their final report for the grant received to support their Community Conservation Programs. In their report, they report that their Passport to Trails 24-25 spring season welcomed 16 full classes, 384 students from 40 different schools, teachers, and parents, who all hit the trails around Santa Fe during April and May. With their Vamonos 2025 walking season getting underway in May, they hosted 187 walkers who took part in eight walks through June. Weather has been a challenge so far, threatening several walks and resulting in a few cancellations, however, they expect a great season to come. 

Lensic Theatre ($10,000)--The Lensic Theatre submitted their final report, which included highlights, photos and a detailed ticket tracking list, for the grant received to support their Class Acts and Angel Tickets project. The Lensic Theatre reported that since their last report, the Lensic’s Education Manager established several new partnerships. As an example, the Education Manger made an effort to become familiar with different school programs and arts initiatives in the area as a way toward finding the best partners and pairings for show tickets. Building these strong foundations will help the program to flourish as outreach to partners as well as increased awareness of Lensic programs continue to grow in tandem.
