Giving to HSLIC

Access to information is critical in the healthcare field. The Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center fulfills this role for New Mexico healthcare professionals, as well as the many faculty and students, who are pursuing their academic and scholarly aspirations. The Executive Director’s Fund for Excellence supports timely funding needs in collections, equipment, and programs. Your generous gift is an investment in this future.

We are grateful for any contributions to our efforts. To donate, please use our secure online donation form.

New Mexico Health Historical Fund

The New Mexico Health Historical Fund supports HSLIC Special Collections’ mission of acquiring, preserving, and making available resources that help document the history of health and healthcare in the state and the Southwest. Collecting strengths include the history of tuberculosis treatment in the state, the UNM Health Sciences Center, public health, New Mexico's medical providers, and the oral history collection. Donations to the Fund aid critical preservation work, assist with collection development, and promote access to HSLIC Special Collections holdings.

Because Special Collections contains rare and unique materials that foster scholarship and shape cultural heritage, ongoing financial support for preservation and acquisitions is particularly important. Thus, the Fund is vital to ensuring that Special Collections can purchase archival-quality preservation supplies, such as acid-free folders and boxes and non-reactive polyester sleeves for negatives and prints, that will safeguard and preserve our holdings. The Fund is also important for assisting Special Collections in obtaining high-research value resources, such as archival collections, books, and other materials, that contribute to research, teaching, and community engagement.

Endowments 

An endowment is a type of gift that supports students, faculty, and programs over an extended period. The UNM Foundation invests the principal of the gift on behalf of HSLIC and uses a portion of the return each year to support the area designated for your gift.

By establishing a HSLIC endowment in your name or the name of a loved one, you will be supporting health care providers and students who depend on HSLIC's services. Annual payouts from your endowment will fund much needed initiatives that we would not be able to afford otherwise.

• Demonstrate your commitment to HSLIC's mission and initiatives
• Continue your legacy of support for our future health care providers for many years to come
• Allow HSLIC to plan more confidently for the future.

If you are interested in starting an endowment, please contact the HSLIC Executive Director at MRethlefsen@salud.unm.edu or Director of Development Liz Kahane at liz.kahane@unmfund.org.
