The New Mexico Media Literacy Project is an outreach project of Albuquerque Academy, an independent school (grades 6-12) in Albuquerque NM.  Albuquerque Academy is our fiscal agent, and it provides important in-kind support.

NMMLP receives financial support from the New Mexico Department of Health, McCune Foundation, New Mexico Community Foundation, Albuquerque Academy Educational Foundation, and other public and private donors.  We also earn income from sales of our multimedia resources, honoraria, and training fees.  In order to preserve our independence, NMMLP does not accept funding from media corporations.
