Memorials and Tribute Gifts
If you have a loved one who has been impacted by New Mexico State University, establishing a memorial or tribute gift through the NMSU Foundation is a meaningful way to honor your loved one or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday while supporting the work of our mission. Your memorial or tribute gift will be a lasting tribute to your loved one and make a difference in the lives of those NMSU serves.

When Sarah's father passed away, she knew she wanted to do something that would establish a lasting legacy for him. She remembered that during his lifetime he was always praising NMSU for its tireless efforts to better his community.
Sarah decided to make a gift to the NMSU Foundation in her father's name using appreciated securities. Not only will her father's legacy live on at NMSU thanks to the gift, but Sarah also received a federal income tax charitable deduction (because she itemizes her taxes) and eliminated capital gains tax on the securities.
