New Mexico Appleseed: Our Theory of Change

New Mexico Appleseed corrects structural barriers to opportunity by designing and advocating for effective solutions to poverty through policy, legislative, and market-based reform. While many organizations offer important direct services—serve meals, educate children, and assist the poor—New Mexico Appleseed’s goal is to make systemic change that yields permanent or long term improvement on issues like hunger, homelessness, family economic security, child maltreatment and education.

New Mexico Appleseed designs, tests, and implements practical solutions that address the causes and consequences of poverty.
