About Santa Fe Hestia Fund

Our mission is to support organizations that encourage the academic pursuits and passions of Santa Fe middle school students.

Dynamic Women Making a Difference

Inspired by Hestia, the Greek goddess of the hearth, our circle of giving is comprised of women. Since its inception in 2008, Hestia has distributed over $2 Million Dollars in grants to organizations in Santa Fe.

Engaged With the Challenges Facing Young Teens

We share a desire to engage in the challenges facing middle schoolers and their families in our community. We strive to support inspiring programs that address challenges with both time-tested and innovative solutions.

Connected To One Another At The Heart

In addition to Hestia’s grant-making function, we seek to be both a source of social connection and to provide an opportunity for lifelong learning for our members, particularly in the areas of strategic philanthropy and education policy.

Enriching The Next Generation

Students who participate in our partner programs are thriving and aspiring towards graduating middle school, and ultimately high school.
“Reading Quest’s relationship with Hestia has been incredibly valuable. They helped to prepare [middle school students], not only with the tools to be able to succeed academically, but to be well rounded, curious, compassionate young adults with a passion for learning and growing.”
Naveen Kanithi, Reading Quest, Director of Operations
Belonging to Mariachi Milagro de Ernesto Gonzales provides students an opportunity to improve self esteem, to channel their energies in positive activities, and to maintain good character. While the students develop and demonstrate music skills, the program helps the members develop positive confidence and leadership skills, cultivate a sense of cultural pride and self-identity, create a sense of bi-cultural awareness, and enhance students’ perspective on multi-culturalism.

“Nuestra Jornada has helped me to know a lot of things. It helped me a lot dealing with my losses. I would cry taking about that, but now when I talk about it I’m more calm seeing I was not the only passing by hard times and I thank them for showing me I’m not alone. I’m so thankful for the funders of Nuestra Jornada.
Middle school participant of Gerard’s House school-based grief support “Nuestra Jornada” for students with immigrant roots.
Our partnership with Hestia has allowed Girls Inc. to maintain consistent support for middle school girls in Santa Fe throughout the last few turbulent years when having relationships with trusted adults is what our children need. Hestia’s Whole Child Framework and belief in the importance of healthy adult relationships for these girls aligns with Girls Inc.’s approach to programming and mentorship. Not only has Hestia provided us with funding, but this spring several Hestia members also joined girls at Ortiz Middle School for some Girls Inc fun.
