Just as every facet of society was altered by the COVID pandemic of 2020, the nonprofit sector experienced a shift that fundamentally changed the way grantmakers and grantees relate to one another.

We’re excited to announce the upcoming release of In the Right Hands, a short film that explores the importance of long-term relationships, mutual accountability, and deep trust within the practice of philanthropy.

One of the questions we get most often at Trees, Water & People from well-meaning donors of all sizes is, “So… how many trees can we plant for this many dollars”?

As any experienced gardener will tell you, to get great results, plant the right crops for your climate, water and weed regularly, and most importantly, put time into building your soil.

This afternoon we had a visit from long time Trees, Water & People (TWP) supporter, Karen Allen. Not only had she brought us a bunch of surplus tomato seedlings for TWP staff, she also came bearing a significant gift to start TWP’s work in Mexico.

Trees, Water & People (TWP) was honored to participate in a convening of New Mexico Foundation grantees just outside of Albuquerque this past July.
