Auntie Tillie was an encouraging, amicable, and respected woman who made the most out of every opportunity that came her way. She also helped influence and empower other women through her own resilience and perseverance. Auntie Tillie did her best to ensure all women were aware of opportunities in their community.
Here is a brief video introduction to our foundation!
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering multi-generational women of New Mexico and providing them with growth opportunities. The Auntie Tillie Foundation is made up of family and close friends of Tillie Garcia. We were inspired to create this foundation in lieu of the passing of Tillie. Many knew her as "Auntie Tillie," which influenced the name of the foundation.
MISSION
Our mission as a foundation is to provide scholarships and grants for growth, improvement, and empowerment for women and to provide life skills to empower women in everyday life to build their confidence.
