The Annual Fund for Museum Education supports the heart of what our museums exist to do--create engaging educational opportunities for New Mexico children, adults and visitors. The state budget only funds staff salaries and basic utilities, with our help school field trips, public programs and exhibitions, teacher training,  interactive websites and curriculum materials are made possible through  the Annual Fund.

Mary Olson, Art Teacher at Wood Gormley Elementary Schools states,

“Public schools would never have the funds to create this kind of arts programming. I feel like one of the luckiest teachers in the country to have this wonderful resource in our museums.”

Your gift to the Annual Fund supports education programming at the Museum of International Folk Art, New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors, New Mexico Museum of Art, Museum of Indian Arts & Culture, seven state monuments and the Office of Archaeological Studies. Our museums and monuments offer hundreds of free programs throughout the year to more than 350,000 visitors of all ages.

One hundred percent of your gift to the Annual Fund goes directly to museum education. Donors of $100 or more will receive an invitation to a special thank you event
and donors of $250 or more will be recognized in Foundation publications.
