Annual Fund

The Museum of New Mexico Foundation relies on membership dues and Annual Fund gifts to fund our operations, including the support services we provide to the state museum system.

These contributions to the Annual Fund enable the Foundation to generate private contributions to the Museum of New Mexico system—13 cultural institutions in all—to develop exhibitions and educational programs, as well as to operate four Museum Shops, a Licensing program, and provide financial services and advocacy for state funding.


New Mexico’s cultural resources are some of the largest and most important collections of art and history in the country.  It is our responsibility as citizens of New Mexico or frequent visitors to ensure that future generations experience these resources as we do.

As you may know, the state of New Mexico provides funding only for staffing and building operations for the museum system.  No state funds are appropriated for exhibitions and educational programs. To make possible these vital activities, the Foundation relies on private support from members like you.
