With the end of the year approaching, there are opportunities for you to be tax-wise in your charitable giving. When you make a gift to our Annual Fund, you enable the Museum of New Mexico Foundation to support exhibitions, educational initiatives and public programming at our four state museums (including Vladem Contemporary) in Santa Fe, eight historic sites statewide and the Office of Archaeological Studies.

Your gift will make a wonderful difference. All donations to the 2023 Annual Fund will be matched 1:1 by a $75,000 Trustee Challenge led by trustee John Duncan and his wife Anita Sarafa, with support from Valerie and Bud Hamilton, Christine and Drew McDermott, Cindi and Michael Pettit, Jenna and Wilson Scanlan, Courtney and Scott Taylor, and Claire and Jim Woodcock.

Below are four charitable giving strategies worth considering that can provide you with additional tax savings while also benefiting the Foundation and the institutions we support:

🔹Check: Envelopes must be postmarked by December 31, 2023, to qualify as a 2023 gift. The legal date is the date your gift is postmarked, not the check date.
🔹Credit Card: The date the charge clears is the legal gift date, not the date the charge is submitted.
🔹Stock: In the case of a direct transfer, the legal gift date is the transfer date, not the date a broker is requested to make the transfer.
🔹IRA Charitable Rollover: If you are 70½ years of age or older, you may direct up to $100,000 annually from your required minimum distribution to support the Foundation without being taxed on the income.
🔹Donor Advised Fund (DAF): You may direct a gift through a DAF to the Foundation (note: you receive a tax deduction when you set up a DAF) and make a difference for the cultural institutions you love.
