What Progressnow New Mexico Education Fund does
Mission
The purpose of Progressnow New Mexico Education Fund is to educate the public on issues of public concern and increase voter participation in federal, state, and local elections.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The organization had a successful year with educational campaigns on reproductive justice, environmental justice, voting rights, and disinformation defense. We continued to educate the public about how reproductive health decisions in other states affect new mexicans and provided communications support for reproductive healthcare partners. In environmental justice we partnered with other environmental organizations to continue education on the harmful effects and the role the oil and gas industry has in new mexico politics as well as educational videos related to the intersectionality of environment and reproductive health. We provided public education leading up to the november 2025 election on ways that new mexicans can vote ranging from early vote timelines, to polling locations, to how to register to vote if they aren't already. Lastly, we provided public information on how changes to federal rules related to snap and medicaid would affect individuals and families.

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 2023 to 2024, from $822k to $229k (−72%).
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: 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of PROGRESSNOW NEW MEXICO EDUCATION FUND’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (97% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 9 funders, grant income rose $124k → $805k.

From the IRS filings of PROGRESSNOW NEW MEXICO EDUCATION FUND’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
PROGRESSNOW NEW MEXICO EDUCATION FUND has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 32% 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
58% 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 PROGRESSNOW NEW MEXICO EDUCATION FUND.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 68% · 2018 41% · 2019 67% · 2020 38% · 2021 35% · 2022 35% · 2023 31% — 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
55% of PROGRESSNOW NEW MEXICO EDUCATION FUND's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 68% 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
PROGRESSNOW NEW MEXICO EDUCATION FUND draws 91% of its grant income from funders outside New Mexico, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
