Donation Opportunities

As a nonprofit organization, Scribendi relies on tax-deductible donations for a large part of our publication costs. In these challenging economic times, we depend even more heavily than usual on the support of generous individuals like you to continue this fine publication and wonderful educational experience. We appreciate any and all contributions you are able to make. If you would like to donate through means not listed here, please contact us at scribendi@unm.edu and we will be more than happy to work with you!

Direct Donations (That First Link!)
The most direct way to donate money is through the Jackie Schlegel Endowment, which was established in 2008 in recognition of a beloved former Honors employee. All contributions are secure and tax-deductible, and many employers will match your gift. Jackie Schlegel was an administrative secretary for the UNM College of Fine Arts and later for the Honors Program. Before her retirement in 1978, she worked under the first director of the Honors Program, Dudley Wynn, and later under John Howarth. Jackie passed away in 2008. The 2011 issue of Scribendi was dedicated in her honor. Here is the donation page.

Donate to Our Homecoming Auction
Every year we host an annual Honors Alumni Homecoming event with a silent auction to raise money for the magazine. We request donations from businesses in the Albuquerque area, which can include gift cards, event tickets, jewelry, art, and gift baskets. These donations allow us to give back to our alumni donors and support local businesses, as well as providing funding for printing costs, staff travel, and other magazine-related expenses. Each business that donates to our auction is thanked in the edition of the magazine that their contribution helped to fund.

As part of the UNM Honors College, Scribendi is classified as a not-for-profit organization (Federal Tax Exempt #85-6000-642 and State Tax Exempt #01-5044-47-005) and, therefore, your contribution is tax-deductible. Here is the form that you can fill out for your records of this donation.

Donate Printer Cartridges
We encourage anyone with used printer cartridges to donate them to us in the Scribendi office. We have an ongoing fundraiser with Funding Factory through which we can recycle these to raise money.
