Since we let you know a week ago that we needed to raise $60,000 to match seven generous challenge grants, friends like you have contributed a total of $19,898, bringing us nearly a third of the way to our ambitious goal. In fact, you have made so much progress toward our goal that another challenge grantor has offered an additional $10,000, so the challenge has now grown to $70,000!

We are deeply grateful to the 101 New Mexicans from Cordova to Magdalena to Roswell (as well as several friends from out of state) who have helped us get this far.

We also want to give a special shout-out to the seven supporters who signed up to become Monthly Amigos, the 14 donors who gave to Think New Mexico for the very first time, and one "returning" donor who made a donation for the first time in five years. All of those gifts are being matched 2:1 by a separate $25,000 challenge grant, meaning that the $3,702 contributed from these donors has already leveraged $7,405 from the challenge grant.

Now comes the hard part: to fully meet all of these challenge grants we still need to raise $50,102 from our loyal past givers, and $8,798 from new donors, new monthly donors, and returning donors by this Friday, October 30 at 11:59 p.m.

We have a long way to go and just five days to get there: please help us meet the challenge by mailing in a check or donating online! ... See MoreSee Less

Exciting news: six extremely generous New Mexicans who believe strongly in Think New Mexico's work have put together a pool of challenge grants totaling $60,000--now we need to raise another $60,000 by Friday, October 30 at 11:59 p.m. in order to meet this ambitious challenge!

www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=G5NJ673ZUKSJQ

In addition, another supporter has offered a separate $25,000 challenge grant that must be matched with contributions from new donors, new Monthly Amigos (monthly donors), or returning donors who haven't given to Think New Mexico in the past five years. All of these contributions will be matched 2:1, meaning that every $1 from a new donor, new monthly donor, or donor who hasn't given since 2015 will raise $3 to help support our work.

Thank you very much for your support!

A preponderance of gullible recipients? Yes, a glib response but not without merit.

Ugly.

We are excited to announce the launch of a new pol We are excited to announce the launch of a new policy initiative that seeks to end predatory lending and strengthen financial literacy in New Mexico! . In our new report, Think New Mexico traces the history of predatory lending in our state and examines the reforms that have worked elsewhere. Based on our research, we are recommending that the legislature and governor cut the maximum annual interest rate for small loans from 175% to 36%. We also recommend making a class in financial literacy or personal finance a graduation requirement for the state's public high school students. Our reports are going out in the mail this week - if you're not on our mailing list and you would like a copy, just email us at info@thinknewmexico.org. . . #endpredatorylending #financialliteracy #ThinkNM #ThinkNewMexico #publicpolicy #thinktank #newmexico #nmleg #nmpol
