Education

• College Scholarship: Every year FAFNM gives college scholarship funds to deserving active and participating members. The amount depends upon the funds raised for that year and the number of students who qualify.  See FAFNM Scholarship.  NOTE:  The Caroling Group raises funds for scholarship every year.

Outreach

The Outreach Committee provides various support to the Filipino American community.

• Veterans Affair: Starting in 2018, FAFNM sponsors picnic in honor of the Bataan Veterans and members of the military (retired/active duty) at the Bataan Park.  (The first picnic was held on April 14, 2018.) In December, we help in lighting the luminaries at the Bataan Park.
• • Consular:  FAFNM hosts the Outreach by the Philippine Consulate General that comes to New Mexico (in Rio Rancho or Albuquerque).  Services include passport (new/renewal), dual citizenship, and civil registries (change of name, marriages, births, & deaths). For Filipinos in NM and surrounding states such as Colorado, Arizona, Oklahoma and Texas, this saves them an expensive trip to Houston (around $400 round trip air fare).

Finance

• Fund Raising:
  • Pista sa Nayon (to be held every other year) for FAFNM activities including scholarship funds.
  • Caroling (for scholarship funds)
• Grants: Coordinating with Filipino American Community Council (FACC).
