THE CHAMPION BUILDING, the permanent home of the Albuquerque Community Foundation since 2012 at 624 Tijeras NW, demonstrates the hardworking nature of immigrants to the United States who endured hardships to provide livelihoods for their families. The enduring structure, today more than 120 years old, also exemplifies the value to a community of preserving its architectural legacy while anchoring a more than 40-year-old organization within a historic downtown neighborhood.
