Revenue derives from Federal, State, and City government grants, private foundation support, and individual donations. The organization is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and maintains partnerships with the New Mexico Department of Health, NMCSAP, UNM, law enforcement agencies, and healthcare providers across the region.
