The New Mexico Spotlight Foundation is the state’s premier direct-to-artist fundraising organization, benefiting New Mexico’s filmmakers, storytellers, and creative professionals through education, training, employment, resources, and community.
Our mission is to train, educate, and support New Mexico creatives. We raise and distribute funds to New Mexico artists, performers, and media makers through charitable programs that strengthen the arts, media, and creative opportunities statewide.
The New Mexico Spotlight Foundation supports local artists and creatives through fiscal sponsorships, awards, grants, and fundraising. We serve both individual artists and projects from micro-budget to Theatrical Basic/CBA. We work to employ the ample talent base of highly experienced, professional filmmakers and talent, above and below the line, who have been left largely underserved due to major dips in incoming productions.
We strive to offer resources, services, and placement to our clients. We serve the tremendous technical and creative artists community in the state.
We are here to collaborate on community projects that benefit area initiatives by utilizing films and other media and mediums to highlight community issues, such as homelessness, domestic violence, and mental health. We achieve this by funding art projects and training locals in art and art therapies. We showcase and elevate fellow humanitarian organizations for community enrichment.
