Endowments

Endowment funds provide a reliable source of annual income for our cultural institutions, supporting exhibitions, acquisitions, education and operations, and other programs and purposes.

Donors may give to an existing fund, or establish a new one (minimum $100,000), designating a specific cultural institution or the Museum of New Mexico Foundation as the beneficiary.

The Museum of New Mexico Foundation manages 40 endowments valued at more than $30 million as of June 30, 2023.
