Affiliated Organizations

Working Together for Good

When private foundations affiliate with the El Paso Community Foundation, their board members are relieved of highly technical and burdensome reporting to the IRS. Instead, their board members can focus their collective experience on funding good works. Affiliated foundations and supporting organizations are also afforded the opportunity to utilize the professional staff of the Community Foundation for management and administrative purposes. Below are the supporting organizations of the Community Foundation.

The Border Art Residency enables artists to pursue their craft without the worry of immediate sales or an outside job to pay for housing expenses. It is currently on a hiatus while we look for a new home closer to El Paso and the Border.
