With only two core staff (Executive Director and Finance Manager) and a rotating team of six specialized consultants, NMAEYC managed a statewide portfolio of programs reaching thousands of educators and families. Strategic collaborations with Tribal, Rural, and Spanish-speaking communities ensured that voices historically excluded from policymaking were at the center of our work. By building bridges with partners such as Explora, higher education institutions, and local nonprofits, we extended our geographic reach and leveraged over $250,000 in new or renewed grant support, fueling free professional learning opportunities and equity-focused initiatives.Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB): Embedding Equity at Every LevelOur commitment to DEIB became more than a statement in FY25it became our practice.

We actively supported efforts led by the New Mexico Early Childhood Education and Care Department (ECECD), amplifying their initiatives to expand universal access to affordable childcare and build long-term sustainability for providers. Together with partners across the state and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), we advocated for fair wages, expanded benefits, and recognition of the early childhood workforce as an essential profession.Through policy briefs, testimony, and targeted campaigns, NMAEYC engaged directly with legislators and community stakeholders to advance reforms that prioritize families, especially those in rural, tribal, and Spanish-speaking communities. Our efforts reached more than 10,000 New Mexicans through digital outreach and grassroots mobilization, helping to ensure that the voices of early educators and families remain at the forefront of New Mexicos policy agenda.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $544k to $300k (−45%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 93% · 2018 91% · 2021 18% · 2022 2% · 2024 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
35% of New Mexico Association for the Education of Young Children’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $95k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
