Make a Donation

Thank you for your support of the New Mexico Allied Council on Tobacco (NM ACT)! Strengthening partnerships and collaborations to save lives by reducing commercial tobacco abuse.

Your Gift Really Makes a Difference!

Your gift, no matter the size, contributes to the New Mexico Allied Council on Tobacco’s (NM ACT) mission: to advocate for proven tobacco use prevention policies through statewide partnerships to improve and save lives by reducing commercial tobacco abuse. We accomplish our mission by working to strengthen partnerships and collaborations, including educating partners about effective, research-based practices; educating partners about risks posed by emerging tobacco products, non-FDA approved nicotine delivery systems or devices, and current tobacco industry tactics; and educating partners about emerging science and the changing knowledge base of commercial tobacco control. Through these activities, we develop advocacy priorities and strategies that lead to positive tobacco legislative processes.

There are so many ways that you can personally make a difference. To those of you who already support us, we want you to know how much we appreciate you.

Whether it is through support of the Operations or Programs Fund, a planned gift, a gift of In-Kind, or an individual cash gift, your involvement shows a powerful commitment to working together to reduce the burden of chronic disease on individuals, organizations, communities, and systems in New Mexico.

Individual giving opportunities:

Unrestricted Funds, Operations or Specific Program: General donations given on a one-time basis, or weekly, monthly, or yearly intervals.

In Memory/Honor: In the spirit of true generosity, many donors establish gifts to honor a loved one, or special someone. These unique gifts not only provide essential support to the New Mexico Allied Council on Tobacco (NM ACT), but very importantly, ensure the honorees’ legacy will endure forever at NM ACT. The honor/memory of that person will live on in our organization through your gift and our efforts to provide support to our many programs.  Provide the information with your contribution and we will send you a receipt with an acknowledgement card to the person(s) of your choice.

Gifts of stock or securities can be used to support the annual fund, or in establishing an endowed gift, or planned giving arrangements, while at the same time providing a double benefit to you – a current income tax deduction and avoidance of capital gains taxes.
