The private company that manages Los Alamos National Laboratory has committed to spending $3.7 million a year to boost education programs in Northern New Mexico.

But nonprofits that do not offer educational services will not be allowed to apply for grant money, a move that cuts those groups out of roughly $500,000 provided under a prior agreement.

“As a foundation, we’ve always been dedicated to education,” said Susan Herrera, director of the LANL Foundation. “It’s always been our core value and mission. And this just really puts us in step with that.”"
