Francisco Chacón
Executive Director
Born and raised in Taos, I’ve spent the last few decades working (and farming!) all over the world. But Taos has always been home – and now I’m back!
I’m relatively new to the non-profit world, which means I get to learn as I go while helping Not Forgotten Outreach serve the community more effectively. Luckily, I love getting my hands dirty—literally—so much of my time here will be spent on the farm, growing food, programs, and community all at once.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you’d like to get involved or it you have any questions about the organization. I’m really looking forward to the 2026 growing season. Let’s have fun!

Finance Director
Even though I was born in Northern Ohio, I consider Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City, KS where I grew-up. I lived there from about 6 years old until I left home to attend University. I started my University studies in Engineering and ended up getting a Business degree in Information System. This allowed me to work in the business area but still engage in the more technical aspects of business. Accounting also happened to be an important aspect of this work since we were learning to design and programming business/accounting systems.
I got my start in non-profit accounting while working as the assistant to the Deputy Executive Director of Development at Amnesty International USA in New York City. Even though I was in the fundraising department, there were still budgets to write and assemble as well as accounts to maintain for each of the fundraising areas. When I moved to Taos, I started again with administrative assistant type of work but this almost always includes maintaining bookkeeping and accounting records.
Over my 21 years in Taos, I have had the opportunity and pleasure to work at our local non-profit teen shelter and transitional living organization. I have also worked freelance for several other small non-profits. My work at Not Forgotten Outreach has been heaviest, most enriching (in the form of accounting experience) and most rewarding. It is a great program that has a presence in town and is growing in ways that will make it a cornerstone to the agricultural portion of our community.
