The
staff of both the Department of Communication and Journalism
and at the University of New Mexico Foundation are available and
accessible to help you make a gift that best matches your interests
and the needs of our students. Our commitment is to be available
to help you make a difference through your generosity.
Different
Ways to Make a Gift
Gifts from individuals come in many forms. Checks,
credit card payments and payroll deductions are common. So too
are gifts of stocks, securities and property. Because The University
of New Mexico is affiliated with the United Way and the Combined
Federal Campaigns, you make designate your gift to the C&J department
through payroll deductions or direct gifts through these organizations
as well. A description of the different kinds of gifts and the
way they can be given are explained on a UNM
Foundation gifts
page.
You can buy a Remembrance Brick for the "Alumni and Friends
Pathway" at the historic C&J building, memorializing
your family or a deceased loved one. Details on the Remembrance
Brick project can be found here.
You may receive a giving envelope from the Department of
Communication and Journalism, which allows you to make a general
gift to the Departmental Enrichment
Fund, to be used at the Chair's discretion for unbudgeted
needs or emergencies. Details are available by calling the
C&J Department at (505) 277-5305 and also on-line here.
You may designate your gift to benefit departmental scholarships.
Details on the Everett M. Rogers Memorial Scholarship are available
on-line here,
and details on the Graduate Student Development Fund are available

years) or the President’s Council at UNM (a commitment of

are important in recognizing our major donors, every gift is valued
and appreciated!
