Northern New Mexico College (NNMC)
The President’s Eagle Fund at Northern New Mexico College allows the president to designate resources to the areas of greatest need. The fund allows for purchases of classroom accessibility equipment to help ability-impaired students and the establishment of a campus food bank and clothing closet. Northern New Mexico College primarily serves Hispanic and Native American students and aims to be nationally recognized for cultural sustainability, quality student learning and its ability to develop strong economic communities among diverse populations. N3B provided a substantial gift to help kick-start the fund.

Regional Development Corporation
N3B works with The Regional Development Corporation (RDC), a private non profit 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to improving economic development in Northern New Mexico. The RDC provides technical assistance to facilitate job growth. In partnership with the RDC, N3B has been able to offer education opportunities to people in Los Alamos, Mora, Rio Arriba, Sandoval, San Miguel, Santa Fe, and Taos counties.
