Giving Tuesday

Giving Tuesday is a global initiative launched in 2012 that encourages people to donate their time and money to charitable causes on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

The Assistance League of Albuquerque (ALA) has identified each year one of their Philanthropic Programs to be the recipient of a Giving Tuesday campaign.  Below are ALA’s programs for the past three years and the generous donations they received from this campaign.

• 2019 – Healthcare for the Homeless and Silver Horizons – $2,000
• 2020 – Kids are Pretty Special (KAPS) – $4,216
• 2021 – Buddy Bears – $2,329

This year ALA is dedicating Giving Tuesday to their Scholarship Program.  The Scholarship Program began in 2021 awarding two scholarships to students at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) in the Trades Division, Applied Technologies Department.  Each scholarship is for $4,500 to an eligible student who has completed two of the five terms for graduation with a 3.5 grade point average or better.

ALA’s Giving Tuesday campaign goal this year is to award an additional scholarship to a deserving CNM student.  With your generous donation we are confident that we will reach our $4,500 goal and be able to give an additional student an opportunity to complete their education at CNM.

THANK YOU!
