There are many ways that you can support our work. We greatly appreciate both monetary contributions and donations of time or expertise. The Colonias Development Council (CDC) would like to thank contributors for their past and future support. CDC has always relied primarily on support from private foundations, but this funding is increasingly difficult to secure. We greatly appreciate donations from individuals who support the mission of our organization. 1. Become a Friend of the Colonias Development Council. Becoming a friend of CDC is your opportunity to help colonia residents who are working to build a better future. As a friend of CDC you will receive periodic updates on our work. Local donors will be invited to attend an annual event, bringing them together with colonia residents. This will create the opportunity to learn first-hand about the various projects colonia residents are working on. We invite you to become a Friend of CDC as a person committed to social justice. By becoming a Friend of CDC, you will provide material support to colonia residents who are striving to bring positive changes to their communities. Please click on the Donate Now button below to send an online donation. You can also contact us at our main office at (575) 647-2744. Thank you for your support of community organizing and social justice efforts in southern New Mexico!
2. Volunteer, carry out research, or complete an internship with our organization. We make our best effort to accommodate researchers, interns, and volunteers. We would be happy to discuss your interests -- just contact us! It would be helpful for you to review our Research Policy prior to contacting us for a meeting. Thanks! Every year, the Colonias Development Council hosts a volunteer member of the Border Servant Corps. This program matches volunteer young people with several organizations in El Paso and Las Cruces. 3. Purchase gifts for your family and friends while supporting our work. We sell several items to benefit our organization, including notecards and Fair Trade coffee. Contact us for information on purchasing these items. We also assist the women's collective Creaciones Yucca to market their products on the internet and at local markets. Please see the Creaciones Yucca page for more information. THANK YOU! |
