What New Mexico Wildlife Federation does
Mission
The mission of the New Mexico Wildlife Federation is to inspire new mexicans to conserve public landscapes, watersheds, and wildlife for our children's future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Nmwf is committed to engaging the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts and fostering a high quality of life for all new mexicans. Through fishing, rafting, hiking, camping, archery, and science-based conservation education, the federation creates opportunities for new mexico's youth and families not only to learn about and connect to our public lands and watersheds, but also to one another. Along these lines and recognizing that culture plays an important role in conservation, the federation brings rural, urban, underserved, and tribal youth from throughout new mexico together in outdoor activities and cross-cultural conversations about how their culture informs their understanding of new mexico's land, water, and wildlife. Additionally, by bringing together youth with local, state, and federal officials, we also highlight the importance of civic education and engagement, and the role policy plays in protecting our environment. In recent years, the federation has also undertaken in-the-field conservation work in the form of waterway restoration, regeneration of native plant species, and removal of invasive vegetation. The federation's main sources of support and revenue are…

The program described on its FY2025 Form 990. Program spending in total: $359,225.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $533k to $274k (−49%).
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: 2020 10% · 2021 5% · 2023 41% · 2024 45%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 12 funders, grant income rose $411k → $482k.
5 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 23% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of NEW MEXICO WILDLIFE FEDERATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
NEW MEXICO WILDLIFE FEDERATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 28% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
67% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund NEW MEXICO WILDLIFE FEDERATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 52% · 2018 50% · 2019 33% · 2020 40% · 2021 39% · 2022 28% · 2023 27% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
41% of NEW MEXICO WILDLIFE FEDERATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
NEW MEXICO WILDLIFE FEDERATION draws 89% of its grant income from funders outside New Mexico, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $680k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
