Giving to The Skeen Library
The Skeen Library welcomes gifts of books, significant archival materials, art, and monetary donations to our foundation account. Your gifts can help us to provide valuable resources to New Mexico Tech and the general region, as well as to preserve the history and culture of both the university and the Middle Rio Grande area. Donations enable the library to obtain materials that we normally cannot acquire with our budget, but which enhance the lives and research of our students and faculty.
Monetary Gifts
Gifts not designated for a specific purpose are used at the discretion of the Skeen Library for purposes that will enhance library collection, services, and facilities. If you would like to make a monetary donation, you can send a check to:

Be sure to designate that your gift
is for the Library.

Supporting the Special
Collections and Archives
Archives welcome gifts of
materials, including individual items and collections, which are suitable for
its various collections and will work with prospective donors to develop a
mutually acceptable deed of gift agreement. We especially appreciate materials
appropriate for inclusion as archival materials, materials relating to the
history of New Mexico Tech, and materials relating to the region. We also accept
items that would be considered rare books. Archives is also grateful for
monetary gifts that enhance development, management, and preservation of its
collections. Supplementing large gifts of materials with cash endowments is one
way to expedite the processing and facilitate the maintenance of the collection
you give to the Skeen Library.
Library Endowments
Endowments provide funds that keep
on giving. Only a percentage of the interest from an endowment is used, while
the principle remains intact and is increased by part of the earned income. If
you wish, you may contribute to the existing Library Endowment through the
Foundation.
