We’re more than a restaurant. We’re community.

Owner, Mark Kiffin recognizes not only the responsibility in taking care of one of Santa Fe’s true treasures, The Compound Restaurant, but also the importance of taking care of his community.  Kiffin became a sitting board member for the Santa Fe Wine and Chile committee in 2008, ensuring a voice for the local Santa Fe restaurants participating in the annual Wine and Chile Fiesta held every September. Furthering his community commitment, Kiffin recently joined the St. Vincent Hospital Foundation Board as an Elected Director in February 2023 and looks forward to making a positive impact with the Foundation in the coming years. In addition to his board work, Kiffin supports multiple charities and works exclusively with The New Mexico Cancer Foundation, the Santa Fe Opera, and Cooking with Kids. Kiffin’s other philanthropy contributions include No Kid Hungry, Adaptive Sports Program of New Mexico, Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, The Lensic Theater, Performance Santa Fe, Santa Fe Children’s Museum, Garcia Street Club, Acequia Madre Elementary School, Folk Art Museum and Market, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, and the Santa Fe Farmer’s Market and Institute.

the Compound Cares About the Community

Since opening in 1966, The Compound Restaurant has become a Santa Fe institution, an integral part of the city’s history, and a cornerstone of the community. Under Kiffin’s tenure, deeper community connections have been cultivated by “acknowledging the importance of giving back to a community who has made us such an important part of their own story. Being community minded we believe in supporting our local community by giving to a wide range of organizations. Our philanthropic mission has become an even more critical part of giving back to a community that has made us a true local favorite.” – chef, Mark Kiffin
