Giving to ENMU

It is ENMU alumni and friends who are changing the future of New Mexico and our region by supporting higher education at ENMU.

Every year our alumni and friends financial support continues to grow and make a difference. For example, in 2006, the ENMU Foundation provided $200,366 to ENMU students in scholarships and $318,877 to departmental priorities. Our alumni and friends also contributed a combined total of $756,687 for permanent endowments that will fund scholarships annually from the interest earned on these funds. (These figures are based on fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.)

It is a combination of everyone's gifts that is making a difference in educating our future business leaders, scientists and educators of tomorrow. You are making a tremendous difference at ENMU.

Private support involves gifts and grants given to the University by people (alumni and friends) and institutions (corporations, foundations, and organizations) who are committed to helping ENMU fulfill its mission. Motivations for giving are often varied, all are important to the ENMU Foundation and ENMU. Many individuals view their support as a means of accomplishing personal goals, supporting values and beliefs. Some give simply because they view their support as a good investment. Others value the knowledge and experiences they have received and desire to ensure the same for future generations of students. Perhaps your motivation is to:

• Remember someone you love or respect by naming a scholarship, professorship, lectureship or even a building
  
• Maintain an interest or affinity in a particular program you want to see grow and succeed
  
• Demonstrate your leadership and your support for higher education
  
• Support your financial or estate planning through philanthropic tax advantages

Whether you want to make a difference for a student, a professor, a department, a program, or whether to challenge others to give, you can show your gratitude for your ENMU experience through a gift. All gifts are valuable to the ENMU Foundation because they help us remain among the best public universities in the region providing the highest quality education.
