Why give to the UNM-Los Alamos Endowment?

The UNM-LA Endowment fund will be used for big-picture, long-term support to the entire UNM-Los Alamos campus! These flexible funds can be utilized to address unforeseen campus repairs, much-needed, long-term capital projects, initiate new student programming and support services, support faculty professional development, or endow a professorship in a specialized area.
