Equity Statement

Equity Statement

Because all children deserve to grow up in nurturing, healthy and supportive environments, and because strong, supported families and communities can foster those environments, the New Mexico Children’s Trust Fund board is committed in its work to the values of cultural and social equity, diversity and inclusion.

We recognize that structural injustice, racial inequality, biases, trauma and the unequal distribution of resources have impacted and continue to impact children, youth and families.  We are committed to building respectful relationships with people in our state who can assist us in meeting the challenges of preventing child maltreatment and providing meaningful healing for those children and families where harm has occurred. 

Our goal is dynamic systemic change that allows all of New Mexico’s children to thrive.
