Thank You for Helping Us Reach $500 Million in Assets Under Management

New Mexico State University Foundation has reached a remarkable milestone, surpassing $500 million in assets under management. This achievement places NMSU among the nation’s leading university foundations and marks an important moment in the university’s continued growth and impact.

This milestone strengthens the Foundation’s ability to provide lasting support for student scholarships, faculty excellence, research initiatives, and strategic priorities that advance NMSU’s land-grant mission. Through careful stewardship and long-term investment strategies, these resources not only meet today’s needs but also help ensure future generations of Aggies have opportunities to succeed.

Achievements of this magnitude do not happen overnight. They are made possible through the trust, generosity, and commitment of donors who believe in the life-changing power of education. Every contribution represents an investment in access, opportunity, and the future of students for years to come.

Over the past several years, the Foundation has remained intentional and consistent in every aspect of its work. That progress reflects the leadership of its 33-member independent Board of Directors and the dedication of Foundation staff members who work tirelessly behind the scenes to build meaningful relationships with alumni, donors, and partners while ensuring every gift is managed responsibly and positioned for lasting impact.

The timing of this accomplishment makes it even more significant. NMSU was recently recognized as the No. 1 institution in New Mexico by U.S. News & World Report and regained its R1 research status—an achievement that highlights the university’s excellence in research and scholarship. Together, these accomplishments demonstrate NMSU’s rising national profile and the important role philanthropy continues to play in its future success.

Thank you for your continued support of New Mexico State University and for helping make this historic milestone possible. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and excited for what the future holds.
