By setting up an automatic monthly donation, you can support NMCLP’s ongoing advocacy in a convenient, consistent way that fits your budget. Setting up monthly gifts of any amount can make a big difference!
This Fund was established to honor the legacy of Kim Posich, NMCLP’s Executive Director from 2002 to 2016. Kim’s dedicated leadership built a stable foundation on which NMCLP’s influence and impact grew. Contributions to the Kim Posich Cornerstone Fund will be designated to the development of new public interest attorneys, sustaining his work for years to come. Please consider making a secure donation to the Kim Posich Cornerstone Fund.
Consider donating to NMCLP through the transfer of stock, bonds, and other securities. Please contact Stacey Leaman at stacey@nmpovertylaw.org or 505-295-5201 for information on how to arrange a transfer.
Taxpayers age 70½ or older can donate up to $100,000 directly from their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Roth IRAs, without treating the withdrawal as taxable income. If you are considering using this vehicle to make a gift, please consult your financial and tax advisor for more information.
Many employers offer matching gift programs that may double or even triple an employee’s donation to an eligible 501(c)(3) organization. This option may even be available if you have retired from a business, or if your spouse makes the contribution. Ask your employer’s human resources contact whether a matching gift program is available and how to participate. If you arrange a matching gift, please notify Stacey Leaman at stacey@nmpovertylaw.orgor 505-295-5201.

Cy pres awards occur in class action lawsuits when the money that is awarded to class members is unclaimed or cannot be distributed to the intended beneficiaries. New Mexico’s rules of procedure allow the court to distribute these residual funds to appropriate charitable organizations that serve the community on issues related to those in the case.
The New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty’s work to improve living conditions, increase opportunities, and protect the rights of people living in low-income communities makes us an ideal candidate for class action cy pres awards.
If you are involved in a class action case and all of the funds cannot be distributed, please consider designating NMCLP as a recipient. For more information, contact Stacey Leaman, Development Director, at stacey@nmpovertylaw.org or 505-295-5201.
