MNMF Legacy Society

Thinking about making a gift of stock or bonds? This type of donation can be highly beneficial for both you and the mission of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. By donating appreciated stocks, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction, allowing you to make a greater impact. Giving is simple, too—you can transfer shares electronically or by certified mail. Please note that gifts of stock are valued based on the average of the stock’s high and low prices on the day of the gift, while mutual fund shares are valued at the closing price that day.

By electronic transfer - Please contact us for instructions on how you can transfer stock or bonds from your brokerage or investment account to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation to benefit the Foundation and designated to benefit the institutions we support.

By certified mail - If you hold securities in certificate form, you will need to mail two envelopes separately to complete your gift. In the first envelope, place the unsigned stock certificate(s). In the other envelope, include a signed stock power for each certificate. You may obtain this power from your broker or bank. Please remember to use certified mail.
