Dear New Mexican:
Every election year, it seems like the campaign rhetoric grows a little coarser, harsher, and more parti- san, and 2020 has been no exception.
By contrast, as Think New Mexico enters its third decade, we continue to focus on what truly mat- ters: careful and thoughtful problem-solving, using fact-based research and reason to bring people together across the political divide to improve the quality of life for every New Mexican.
That approach has served us well, particularly this past year when we were successful in passing the landmark New Mexico Work and Save Act, as well as making progress on several other initiatives that are described throughout this report.
To the extent that we have been effective, a key ingredient has been our bipartisan board, which models civil discourse and respectful disagreement in their internal deliberations and in the way they lead their lives. This year we are delighted to welcome a favorite son of New Mexico, Notah Begay III, to the board.
The vision of the board is turned into action by our outstanding staff. This year, our Field Director Othiamba Umi's exceptional work to reform the state lottery was recognized when he was appoint- ed by the Governor to serve on the lottery's oversight board.
Standing behind our board and staff is a growing group of steadfast supporters from across the Land of Enchantment. Their ranks grew in the last year from 942 to 1,067, an increase of more than 13%.
As the 2020 election approaches, I hope that we will all spend a little less time and money on the partisan warfare that drives us farther apart, and more on the local nonprofits providing food, health care, and housing assistance to those who need it most during this global pandemic. Naturally, if there is anything left over, and your circumstances are such that you can give, I encourage you to send a contribution to Think New Mexico in the enclosed yellow envelope or donate online at www.thinknewmexico.org.
Fred Nathan, Jr. June 1, 2020

THE YEAR IN REVIEW: MAKING RETIREMENT MORE SECURE
In 2019, Think New Mexico launched an ambitious new initiative to achieve retirement security for all New Mexicans. We proposed three reforms: repeal the state’s tax on Social Security income, ensure that every private sector worker in New Mexico has access to a retirement account that they can easily contribute to using automatic payroll deductions, and improve the performance and stability of the state’s public pension funds. During the 2020 legislative session, we advocated for bills to enact all three of our reforms. The New Mexico Work & Save Act, which sets up voluntary Individual Retirement Accounts for New Mexico work- ers who do not have access to retirement savings plans through their jobs, passed the House on a vote of 62-1, the Senate on a vote of 40-0, and was signed into law by Governor Lujan Grisham! We’ll be back in future legislative sessions to build on this success and get our other reforms to the finish line.

TRANSFORMING THE LOTTERY TO PUT STUDENTS FIRST
Think New Mexico has been working to reform the New Mexico Lottery since 2006, when we discovered that only about 23 cents of every dollar bet on the state lottery were reaching the college scholarship fund. In 2007, we won passage of a law guaran- teeing that at least 30% of lottery revenues will be dedicated to scholarships. That reform has delivered an additional $9 million a year to students. In the years since, we successfully defended the 30% guarantee from attacks by the multinational gaming corporations whose profits were reduced when more of the lottery dollars began going to scholarships. In 2019, we uncovered and publicized the lottery’s decision to give its CEO a massive pay increase, and we recommended that Governor Lujan Grisham overhaul the lottery oversight board. The good news is that she did, and one of the new board members she appointed is Think New Mexico’s Field Director, Othiamba Umi! Othiamba is a perfect fit for the board, as he not only benefitted from a lottery schol- arship during his time as a student at UNM, but he has also attended just about every lottery board meeting over the past four years to serve as a watchdog for the public. We are optimistic that this trans- formed board will refocus the lottery on its core mission: maximizing dollars for students.

REFORMING HOW NEW MEXICO FUNDS INFRASTRUCTURE
Five years ago, Think New Mexico launched an initiative to establish a transparent and merit-based process for funding public infrastructure projects. Unfortunately, New Mexico continues to be the only state that divides up its public infrastructure dollars among all 112 legislators and allows them to spend the money in their sole discretion while keeping secret which legislators are sponsoring which projects. As oil and gas prices have fallen, the dollars available to spend on infrastructure have grown increas- ingly scarce and precious, and it is more important than ever to direct these dollars to urgently needed infrastructure priorities. We will continue working to improve the way New Mexico funds infrastructure so that essential projects are fully funded and our infrastructure dollars create as many jobs as possible.

MOVING DOLLARS FROM ADMINISTRATION TO THE CLASSROOM
For the second year in a row, the state budget included language to ensure that more of New Mexico’s education dollars will actually reach students and teachers in the class- room, rather than being spent on central administration. This budget provision resulted from the initiative Think New Mexico launched in 2017, when our research revealed that 61 of the state’s 89 school districts grew their central administrative spending faster than their classroom spending over the past decade. Statewide, school district central administration grew more than twice as fast as classroom spending. Our reform requires school districts and charter schools that spend significantly less in the classroom than their similarly-sized peers to shift more of their resources into the classroom. This spring, as districts tightened their budgets in reponse to the pandemic, both Albuquerque and Santa Fe cut administration and protected classroom spending.

FUNDING HEALTH CARE TRANSPARENCY & STRATEGIC WATER RESERVE
This year’s budget bills included funding for two of Think New Mexico’s on- going initiatives. First, $900,000 was appropriated to finish creating an All- Payer Claims Database, which will gather the data needed to complete New Mexico’s health care transparency website (nmhealthcarecompare.com). Second, $750,535 went to the Strategic Water Reserve, the innovative water management tool that Think New Mexico designed and won passage of back in 2005.

IMPROVING EDUCATION BY CHAMPIONING SMALLER SCHOOLS
For over a decade, Think New Mexico has been championing smaller schools, which the research shows tend to have better student achievement and higher graduation rates, par- ticularly for the most vulnerable students. We continue to speak up against school district proposals to close small schools, especially those serving students from low-income fam- ilies, since these children benefit the most from smaller schools.
, SFR: You say we should be building more small schools on the Southside and keeping the northside small schools open, but how could the district pay for that? Thinking about Small Schools Fred: It turns out when you look at individual school budgets, on average, about 80% goes to faculty salaries and benefits. So it stands to reason if you move school Santa Fe's public school district needs more small kids from school A to school B, the teachers are going to schools—not less—if it truly wants to equitably meet the come with the students because they still want to keep needs of all of its students, says Think New Mexico's class sizes the same, meaning that the district doesn't Founder and Executive Director Fred Nathan.

Board Profile: Notah Begay III
Notah Begay III started playing golf at age six. That year, Notah’s father, who is Navajo, and his mother, who is San Felipe and Isleta pueblo, moved the family into a house near Ladera municipal golf course in Albuquerque. Shortly thereafter, Notah was waking up at 5:00 a.m. to move carts and wash range balls in exchange for practice privileges.
By the time he graduated from Albuquerque Academy, Notah was a top-ranked Junior golfer headed to Stanford University, where he would earn an economics degree. While at Stanford, Notah played alongside teammate Tiger Woods and became a three-time All-American while leading Stanford to the 1994 National Championship. Notah went on to become the only full- blooded Native American to win four times on the PGA Tour.
Pub lic service runs in Notah’s family. His grandfather, Notah Begay Sr., was a Navajo code talker during World War II, and his father and brother both served in the Marine Corps. Notah III felt that his calling was to inspire and advocate for Native American youth.
In 2005, Notah launched The Notah Begay III Foundation (NB3F), which has built a comprehensive health and wellness program designed to provide pathways for Native American children to achieve their full potential. NB3F has worked with over 80,000 kids and invested more than $10,000,000 in Native American communities. This year in response to the devastating impact of Covid-19, NB3F raised over $400,000 to provide food, water and educational resources to Native American families facing the un- precedented challenge of the health crisis.
In addition to h is work at NB3F, Notah provides television com- mentary for NBC Sports and the Golf Channel. He also started a golf course development firm that works exclusively with Tribal Nations to develop world-class golf properties. And in 2014, Notah was given the rare honor of being inducted into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame.
“Having seen what a critical difference public policy can make for the health and welfare of the New Mexico community, I am pleased to begin my service on Think New Mexico’s board. Working alongside board members of different political parties and affiliations is an effective way to advance thoughtful policy solutions that improve the quality of life for my fellow New Mexicans,” Notah says.

What’s a “Social Investor?” We call our contributors “social investors” because we believe that nonprofits should be evaluated based on the social return they produce each year. For example, because Think New Mexico’s 1999 income was $109,499, the $135 million appropriated annually for full-day kindergarten means that our investors continue to receive social dividends of approximately $1,230 for every $1 invested in Think New Mexico’s initial full-day kindergarten project.
Featured on these pages are Think New Mexico social investors and friends wearing their Think New Mexico “thinking caps” around the world. Their names and locations are listed on the back inside cover. 2019-20 Annual Report-fromArlyn.qxp_inside report 2006 6/9/20 8:54 AM Page 24

“ When I came home to find a yellow envelope from Think New Mexico in my mailbox, I felt like a kid look- ing through the Sears catalog at Thanksgiving. I read it cover to cover and the data is so compelling, the research so thorough, and the conclusions such a ‘no brainer’ that I had to write and say, thank you, Think New Mexico!” , , , ,

She was also a talented photographer and writer, and co-authored Contemporary Art in New Mexico and edit- ed Rio Grande: An Eagle’s View.
