Planning Your Legacy: Donate Through a Bequest Including a bequest to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation in your will or revocable trust is the most traditional way of leaving a lasting legacy. Trustee Gregory Dove says, “One of the benefits of supporting the museum foundation is that you can benefit a large number of museums. You can help out and donate and serve a lot of different museums and organizations. They’re not all in Santa Fe but include historic sites and archeology throughout the state of New Mexico.” How a Bequest Works A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make. With the help of an attorney, you can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to be made to family, friends or to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation and designated to the institutions we support as part of your estate plan, or you can make a bequest using a beneficiary designation form. Sample Language I hereby give, devise and bequeath _________ and No/100 dollars ($DOLLARS) /or percent (___%) of my total estate, to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation, a nonprofit organization located at PO Box 2065, Santa Fe, NM, 87504-2065, Federal Tax ID #85-0202503, for the Foundation’s [and named institution(s)] general use and purpose. A Bequest may be Made in Several Ways · Percentage Bequest – make a gift of a percentage of your estate · Specific Bequest – make a gift of a specific dollar amount or a specific asset · Residual Bequest – make a gift from the balance or residue of your estate   Benefits of a Bequest* · You receive an estate tax charitable deduction · You reduce the burden of taxes on your family · You leave a lasting legacy to charity * Check with your estate planning advisor. Contact us If you have any questions about leaving a bequest to us, please contact us. We would be happy to assist you. If you have been so generous as to include a bequest to the Museum of New Mexico Foundation and designated to the institutions we support as part of your estate plan, please take the time to let us know.

NMHM | May 2025

The exhibition captures the essence of the pilgrimage through the lens of four photographers. Sam Howarth made the pilgrimage to Chimayó many times and initiated the documentation of this living tradition in 1996. He invited photographers Miguel Gandert, Oscar Lozoya, and Cary Herz to participate, along with oral historians Dr. Enrique R. Lamadrid and Troy Fernández. Howarth received a grant from the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities to support this project. The Santuario de Chimayó draws the largest religious pilgrimage in the US during Christian Holy Week. More than 30,000 people make the annual journey through the winding mountain villages of Northern New Mexico to the small adobe church. Many come to obtain the famous healing “holy earth” within the sanctuary. “All are welcome on the pilgrimage. Young children, adults, and the elderly walk to the Santuario de Chimayó from as far away as Albuquerque or Santa Fe to remember family members who have passed away, in search of blessings and miracles, and to obtain the famous healing ‘holy earth,’” says Cathy Notarnicola, Curator of Southwest History. “All are united in spirit as they traverse their way across the landscape to the Santuario de Chimayó.” Chimayó: A Tradition of Faith also features a recreation of the Santuario’s ex-voto rooms. These rooms and spaces, where pilgrims leave offerings, feature a diverse collection of meaningful objects, from paintings and prints of santos to photographs, letters, locks of hair, military dog tags, and crutches, all testaments to the faith and hope that draw people to Chimayó. While the sanctuary has been a meaningful place for Christians, its history as a sacred place goes back to time immemorial. The word Chimayó, derived from the Native Tewa term Tsi-Mayoh, was given by Pueblo Indians, who used the area as a healing site long before the arrival of Spanish colonists.

Make a Lasting Impact with Your Retirement Assets Many Americans save for retirement using tax-deferred accounts such as IRAs, 401(k)s, or 403(b)s. After years of diligent saving and investing, it’s essential to consider how these assets will be distributed when they are no longer needed. By naming the Museum of New Mexico Foundation and our cherished cultural institutions as beneficiaries, you can support the preservation and celebration of our state’s vibrant heritage. A Lasting Legacy: Honoring a Generous Member We recently received an unexpected gift of $75,000 from the retirement assets of a long-time member who thoughtfully named the Foundation as a beneficiary. While he had not informed us of his plans, his generosity will significantly enhance our ability to raise funds for the cultural institutions we support. We are deeply grateful for his foresight and kindness. If you’re considering a similar legacy, please let us know your intentions so we can honor and thank you during your lifetime. Why Consider Donating Your Unused Retirement Assets? Leaving retirement assets to heirs may result in a significant tax burden. Unlike traditional inheritance, designating a charity as a beneficiary allows the full value of your gift to directly support the Foundation’s mission. This choice ensures that your legacy continues to enrich our museums, programs, and cultural initiatives. Ways to Donate You have flexible options to make a meaningful contribution: · Specific Amount Gift: Choose to leave a designated sum from your IRA or other retirement accounts. · Percentage Gift: Allocate a percentage of your accounts to the Foundation. · Remainder Gift: Provide for your family first and designate the remainder to us.   These simple designations can be arranged by contacting your plan administrator and completing a beneficiary designation form. The Benefits of a Beneficiary Designation Gift · Tax Savings: Retirement accounts left to a charity are not subject to income taxes, maximizing the impact of your gift. · Flexibility: You retain control over your assets during your lifetime. · Leacy Creation: Your support helps sustain cultural programs for future generations. We’re Here to Help If you are considering a legacy gift through your retirement account, we encourage you to contact Laura Sullivan, Director of Planned Giving, at 505.216.0829 or [email protected]. We are happy to assist you through the process and ensure your wishes are honored. Together, we can preserve the stories, traditions, and artistry that define New Mexico’s rich cultural heritage. Thank you for considering this powerful way to give back.
