Southeast New Mexico Community Action Corp

Southeast New Mexico Community Action Corp (doing business as Snmcac), a tax-exempt nonprofit community development corporation headquartered in Carlsbad, New Mexico, operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient, delivering senior volunteer programs and intergenerational community services funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Snmcac's recent federal footprint centers on two AmeriCorps Seniors grant programs. The organization currently holds two active Project Grants from CNCS's Office of Grants Management, both awarded July 1, 2026 and running through June 30, 2029: the Senior Companion Program (SCP, CFDA 94.016) with a $134,750 award representing a $35,666 increase in baseline funding to $72,700 annually, and the Foster Grandparent Program (FGP, CFDA 94.011) with a $167,977 award. Under the SCP grant, Snmcac engages seniors aged 55 and older with limited incomes as volunteers providing companionship, transportation assistance, respite care, and light household chores to vulnerable adults with special needs across New Mexico. The FGP grant funds an intergenerational service model in which senior volunteers (aged 55-plus) deliver one-on-one mentoring, tutoring, literacy instruction, and developmental support to children with special needs or academic disadvantage in schools, Head Start programs, and childcare centers, averaging 20 hours per week. Both grants require statutory matches of 10 percent; the SCP award carries a budgetary match of 46.05 percent and the FGP award 47.60 percent. Prior to these 2026–29 awards, Snmcac held predecessor SCP and FGP grants running through June 30, 2026, also from CNCS.

The organization's customer base is concentrated within a single federal ecosystem: the Corporation for National and Community Service Office of Grants Management accounts for all recent awards documented in the source. Snmcac has served the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families in prior grant work. The vendor has no federal contracts, no seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles, and no subcontracting relationships in the source data. All twenty-one awards in the portfolio represent prime grant recipient positions. Activity has been episodic rather than continuous—two awards in 2023, one in 2021, three in 2020, and two in 2026—reflecting the multi-year, cyclical nature of AmeriCorps grant funding and recompetes.
