The Foundation is an independent nonprofit foundation dedicated to supporting the public spaces that make our Village a great place to live.
Projects listed on the Village’s Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan are the basis for initial project consideration, but we listen to residents to understand which improvements matter most, and work to fund the projects that enhance Village public spaces and buildings— from upgraded parks and playgrounds to more attractive community meeting spaces. Project funding is decided by the Foundation board of directors.
We welcome the input of all who share our vision for a vibrant Los Ranchos where families gather, neighbors connect, and community thrives.
