The Museum of New Mexico Foundation supports the Museum of New Mexico system, focusing on fundraising for exhibitions and education programs, retail and licensing programs, financial management, advocacy and special initiatives. The Foundation was founded in 1962 by Thomas B. Catron III with the goal of providing private support for the four state museums in Santa Fe. The private, nonprofit Foundation enjoys a robust private­-public partnership with the State of New Mexico, and has expanded to support eight historic sites statewide as well as the Office of Archaeological Studies.
