Frequently Asked Questions

 The Community Capsule is a fun, surprise-filled mystery box featuring items from local businesses, artists, and creatives. Every capsule supports the community in two ways: you discover awesome local treasures, and 8% of profits go to a different New Mexico nonprofit each month. 

 Each capsule is a unique mix! You might find handcrafted gifts, snacks, coupons for local restaurants, mini art pieces, event passes, or even a little something just for fun. No two capsules are ever the same—that’s the mystery and the magic. 

 Prices may vary slightly depending on the event or collection, but most capsules range between $10–$40. Every purchase includes hand-curated local items and a donation to a local cause. 

 We sell capsules at local pop-up events, farmers markets, and community fairs around Albuquerque and surrounding areas. Follow us on social media or check our Events page to see where we’ll be next! 

 We choose a different New Mexico-based nonprofit each month. You can see the current and past nonprofit partners on our Giving Back page. We focus on causes that support community health, education, the arts, housing, and more.
