Support the Albuquerque Museum Foundation’s Annual Fund

The Albuquerque Museum is more than a collection of art and artifacts—it’s a reflection of our city’s diverse stories, vibrant culture, and rich history. Each year, your donations to the Annual Fund allow us to support the programming that brings these stories to life, from thought-provoking exhibits and hands-on educational programs to community events that are open to all. Your generosity ensures that everyone, from school children to lifelong learners, can experience the power of art and history right here in Albuquerque. Whether it’s preserving a treasured artifact or supporting local artists, your gift strengthens Albuquerque’s legacy and ensures it remains accessible for future generations.

Right now, the Albuquerque Museum Foundation—a nonprofit entity that supports the city-owned Museum—is raising funds to sustain another year of impactful programs and initiatives. These include training for museum guides, art education experiences, marketing for upcoming exhibitions, and hosting the popular (and free!) Third Thursday events, where people of all ages come together to enjoy art, music, yoga, insightful discussions, and the chance to make lasting connections. To make this possible, we need to raise $20,000 in new donations by December 31.

Every tax-deductible dollar will directly benefit the Museum. Donations of all sizes make a difference, and we invite you to consider making a recurring monthly gift of $10 or more. Recurring donations are gentle on your budget while providing a reliable source of funding that sustains the Museum year-round.

Together, we can ensure that Albuquerque’s stories continue to inspire and educate for generations to come. Thank you for your support! Your support matters—thank you for making a difference!
