All of us want our community to be a great place to live, work, and play! When we share a sense of responsibility for enhanced quality of life, every aspect of our community benefits. Support from those who value our work impacts our community and beyond in life-changing, life-saving ways while inspiring and motivating others. Organizations, businesses, and individuals who contribute to VRUnm demonstrate a tangible commitment to making a significant difference right here where we live! We are grateful for every gift, and pledge to be conscientious and discerning in the use of all funds.
Vulnerable Road Users NM is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
With the exception of point-of-service fees, all funds received go to our work.

These Esteemed Allies bring an
over-and-above commitment to the
work of our organization through
the generosity of one-time gifts.

VRUnm is honored to be a 2025 recipient
of Casa for a Cause grant, sponsored by
Las Cruces Home Builders' Association.
This generous support is the product of a collaborative project with LCHBA and local homebuilders which fundraises by donating the income from a newly built home to benefit local non-profits.

Sustaining supporters demonstrate particular commitment to VRU's mission by supporting our work on
an annual basis.




Classroom Sponsors
These supporters make a commitment to safer streets and roads by investing in the young people who are currently preparing to drive. Individuals and businesses provide the funds to cover the cost of materials shared with students at a particular high school over the course of an entire school year.
We are currently seeking sponsors to cover the cost of packets for each of the high schools in Las Cruces: Arrowhead, Centennial, Las Cruces High,
Mayfield, Mesilla Valley Christian, Organ Mountain, and Rio Grande Prep.
In the near future we hope to expand to Gadsden High and Hatch High School.
At each presentation, students will be told that the benefactor for their school cares about them and about the safety of our entire community. In our experience, it's very meaningful to these young people to know that others are investing in their well-being. Please reach out for details or if we can count on you to sponsor one of these schools. We are currently calculating what amount is needed based on projected attendance in the 26-27 school year.
Community Partnerships
Local businesses and organizations come alongside to provide support through financial gifts or "in kind" contributions.
