Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
PROVIDE LEGAL ASSISTANCE IN PROCEEDINGS OR MATTERS TO PERSONS FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO AFFORD LEGAL ASSISTANCE IN THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO, EXCLUDING SAN JUAN COUNTY.
-
ADVOCATES AT NEW MEXICO LEGAL AID PROVIDE COMPREHENSIVE SERVICES FOR VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE, HELPING THEM OBTAIN PROTECTION, CUSTODY, AND CHILD SUPPORT. THESE WOMEN (ALMOST ALL VICTIMS OF DV ARE WOMEN) AND THEIR CHILDREN, BENEFIT IMMENSELY FROM THE SERVICES THEY RECEIVE. PROTECTION HELPS STABILIZE LIVES AND ALLOWS THE HEALING PROCESS TO BEGIN. WE ALSO OFFER THESE SERVICES TO LGBTQ INDIVIDUALS, A GROUP THAT HAD TRADITIONALLY LIVED UNDER THE THREAT OF ABUSE AND DISCRIMINATION THROUGHOUT THEIR LIVES, AND WHO NEED THE PROTECTIONS THAT LAWYERS CAN HELP THEM OBTAIN THROUGH THE LEGAL SYSTEM. WITHOUT A LAWYER, THE COURT SYSTEM CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT AND DAUNTING. SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS WITH MENTAL HEALTH/PRIVACY ISSUES, AND STUDENTS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF ASSAULT AND BULLYING BY FELLOW CLASSMATES RECEIVE ASSISTANCE AND PROTECTIONS WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF NEW MEXICO LEGAL AID THAT HAVE LONG ELUDED THEM. ADVOCACY FOR LOW INCOME TAXPAYERS THROUGH THE NMLA'S LOW INCOME TAX CLINIC HAS INCREASED ACCESS TO CHILD TAX CREDITS, EARNED INCOME TAX CREDITS AND OTHER TAX CREDITS, AND OVERCOME TAX AUDITS THAT RESULTED IN RECOVERY OF SUBSTANTIAL REFUNDS FOR FAMILIES. THE NATIVE AMERICAN PROGRAM CONTINUED TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE INDIAN COMMUNITIES AND CLIENTS BY WORKING WITH FRONTLINE COMMUNITY SOURCES. NEW MEXICO LEGAL AID HANDLED 6,156 CASES IN 2024, HELPING OVER 14,800 PEOPLE, INCLUDING OVER 5,900 CHILDREN.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
