Tsiporah Nephesh, Founder and ED, NM Thrives

If you need a woman of deep compassion and wisdom, Tsiporah Nephesh is the friend to know. Tsiporah centers her work on relationships, on listening to the needs and goals of the NM nonprofit sector so she can both advocate for them and support them via education, resources, and connections. She created NM Thrives to uplift the vital work of nonprofits and did so in a way that also informs the larger community about how impactful these agencies are. We originally met to share her efforts at the 2025 legislative session and naturally ended up chatting about how we’re in the midst of societal change and how taking action, however small, is empowering. Check out this convo to learn more about resources available to nonprofits at NM Thrives, where to share your own stories of the impact from federal challenges, and why it’s important to be conscious of the expectations you put on yourself.
