Gratitude
We are deeply grateful to the Albuquerque Community Foundation, NMOGA's Brighter Future Fund, and McCune Charitable Foundation; the Sofia Center Founders’ Circle; and each individual donor and volunteer – all of whom create a constellation of generosity and support that makes our work possible. Heartfelt gratitude to Bosque School for being our beloved home until 2020. And a deep bow of appreciation to the dozens of amazing educators and organizations that have partnered with us to lead programs at the Sofia Center.
As a small nonprofit, we depend on the generosity of our community. Thank you for making it possible for us to offer great programs for teachers and school leaders.
"There has never been a greater need to support educators, and the Sofia Center's ability to do this is unsurpassed."
