New Mexico Ramp Project

The New Mexico Ramp Project provides free ramps for older adults and people with mobility issues across New Mexico. Our vision is that no NM resident shall lack safe access becasue of finanical limitations.

Increase our capacity to build ramps with minimal wait times

Goal One: Increase the number of active build teams by 25% per year.

Goal Two: Expand delivery capability to unserved counties of New Mexico by a minimum of 2 counties per year

Goal Three: Expand the successful grant application and donation income to support the increased capacity of the build teams and the increased cost of materials.

Board development publications have been purchased to develop board member training, Trips are planned to attend the state conference of a similar organization in Texas to coordinate with leaders of that organization which has been operating longer than ours (next year expenditures). New Board chairman brought on board in 2021 and he is implementing improvements in operations.

When the COVID pandemic dried up participation from some of the local church congregations due to fear of spreading the disease, we scaled back our build schedule and found groups of folks with less concern about the virus and willingness to get out to people's homes to build ramps. New training programs were built and board structure was evolved to manage activities across the entire state. Board leadership traveled to teams outside the Albuquerque area (Corp headquarters) to assist with tools and team member shortfalls, offering ideas for new connections in the local areas and committing to bring teams from other parts of the state when able.
