Investing in Our Community

We support our nonprofit partners at various levels, the highest of which we call our Harvest Partners. Spread across our territory, our Harvest Partners are doing incredible work to support our mission pillars of next-generation agriculture, food for people, and supporting disaster relief and recovery efforts.

To manage the endowment, AAC is proud to partner with the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico (CFSNM). For over 34 years, the CFSNM has awarded grants, scholarships, and emergency funding in New Mexico. Rural Roots Endowment grant funds will be released starting in 2024.
