Meet the intern! 🎥✨ Today, we’re excited to introduce Zahir, who has spent his summer interning with Reconnecting with the Disconnected through the Community Impact Summer Internship Program.

Reconnecting with the Disconnected supports at-risk youth by providing guidance, encouragement, and a path toward positive change when others may have turned them away. We are so proud of Zahir and the work and effort he has put into supporting their mission throughout his internship. Experiences like these give students the opportunity to grow professionally while contributing to the nonprofits making a difference across our region.

A heartfelt thank you to Bank of America and Union Pacific Railroad for their generous support of the Community Impact Summer Internship Program, and to our partner, Workforce Solutions Borderplex, for hosting this program alongside us. Together, we’re creating meaningful opportunities for young professionals to gain hands-on experience, grow as leaders, and make a lasting impact in our community.

Matching funds can turn generosity into momentum.

For years, the Melinda and Meyer Marcus Family Foundation has been an incredible champion of El Paso Giving Day, helping local nonprofits inspire donors, reach new supporters and make every gift go further.

This year, the Marcus Family is investing $100,000 in El Paso Giving Day, including:

$75,000 in designated matching funds
$15,000 in matching fund raffled prizes
$10,000 for new El Paso Giving Day video prizes

We are incredibly grateful for their continued generosity and commitment to strengthening philanthropy across our community.

And their support is an invitation to others: You can help create that same momentum. By providing matching funds for El Paso Giving Day, donors, businesses, and foundations can inspire more people to give while amplifying the impact of every dollar raised for participating nonprofits.

She also worked closely with our team to help refine and manage our scholarship portfolio, contributing to a more effective and efficient experience for students, volunteers, donors, and staff.

Karina approached every project with thoughtfulness, creativity, and a willingness to help wherever needed. Her contributions have made a lasting impact on our team, and she will be deeply missed.
