Why give to the UNM-LA? 

For more than 40 years, UNM-LA has provided educational degrees, academic and professional certifications and learning opportunities for all ages in northern New Mexico. UNM-LA intends to remain a solid presence, provide leadership in education and be a welcoming beacon to the region for all wanting to expand their horizons, start or advance their academic journeys, enhance their careers or prepare to participate in the Los Alamos economy and workforce.

Your generous giving to UNM-LA will be focused on three important, impactful giving priorities at UNM-LA:

1. The UNM-LA Faculty Support Fund

Your gifts to this fund will provide opportunities for UNM-LA faculty to participate in professional development in their area of expertise: extended research, conference travel, curriculum, and classroom enhancements, everything that reinforces faculty’s passion for teaching in the unique community of UNM-LA!
