Tree New Mexico

What Tree New Mexico does

Tree New Mexico Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, founded in 1994 to plant trees and educate the public on urban forestry. The organization operates a community-driven model in which volunteers, recruited through the organization's website, newsletter, and events calendar, plant trees free of charge at recipient homes and community sites. Since 2017, the organization has planted and given away 13,549 trees across New Mexico through four core programs: ABQ NeighborWoods (Albuquerque neighborhood plantings including the International District), Statewide Plantings (active in Truth or Consequences, Silver City, and Las Cruces), Campus Plantings, and Partner Plantings.

The organization's product and service surface spans tree installation, ongoing watering/care support, and a suite of educational programs including Tree Stewards training, Recommended Trees species guidance, Rainwater Harvesting education, and Trees and Pollinators resources. Tree New Mexico maintains no proprietary technology platform beyond its content-rich website (treenm.org) and standard newsletter; its operational technology is the volunteer logistics and partner coordination required to execute planting events. Strategic partnerships with NM Urban and Community Forestry, Think Trees Conference, Tree Nurseries of New Mexico, and a directory of arborists and landscape professionals underpin both supply (tree sourcing) and distribution (municipal and campus access).

Tree New Mexico's business model is entirely donation-funded; it provides services at no cost to recipients and solicits contributions through its website and donor pages. The sole documented donation in source material is a $3,000 contribution from RGCU (Ridgecrest Gas Credit Union) in 2024. No revenue figures, headcount data, or grants are disclosed. Customer segments are distributed across individual homeowners, neighborhood associations (e.g., Spruce Park, Los Volcanes, Princess Jeanne), municipal governments, and educational institutions, with no apparent customer concentration risk.
