D ea r M embe r s ,
As we near the winter solstice and holiday festivities get under way,
all of us at the Museum of New Mexico Foundation extend our very best
wishes to you and yours this season.
In this issue of Member News, our annual year in review, we take the opportunity to reflect on the Foundation’s activities during our 2011–12 fiscal year,
which ended on June 30. As the celebration of our 50th anniversary draws to a
close, we are delighted to report on the Foundation’s success and celebrate the
many members and donors whose generous support and engagement mean so
much to the Museum of New Mexico system.
Ford W. Bell, left, president of the
American Alliance of Museums,
and John Easley, Foundation executive
director, celebrate the Foundation’s
50th Anniversary on Museum Hill.
On the following pages, you will learn about the important work of our
museum development teams and the great job they are doing to raise funds
to support museum exhibition programs. You will also discover the results
of our Fund for Museum Education, which is having a vital impact on teachers
and students throughout New Mexico. And we are proud to call your attention
to the names of donors who have provided leadership support for our museums
during the past year.
Private philanthropy has immeasurably enhanced our Museum of New Mexico
system, providing funds for collections, exhibitions and education programs
that would be impossible with state funding alone. We salute and thank you
for your support and participation and encourage you to include the Foundation
in your year-end giving plans. Please see page 21 for more information.
As always, thank you for your generous gifts of time and treasure. You are
truly making a difference for New Mexico and all those who love our
museums and monuments.
Sincerely,
John P. Easley
Executive Director

Thanks to thousands of generous
members and donors, a total of
$4.81 million in membership
contributions, gifts, grants and
pledges were received and
administered by the Museum
of New Mexico Foundation during
the 2011–12 fiscal year.
THE YEAR
IN REVIEW
A Banner Year
As a result, our cultural institutions received vital resources to
present a variety of world-class exhibitions, programs and other
cultural offerings for thousands of visitors to enjoy in 2012 — the
Foundation’s 50th anniversary year.
“Community support is critical to the success of our museums,”
says Museum of New Mexico Foundation Executive Director John
Easley, noting that the State of New Mexico funds only staff salaries
and building operations. “Private support funds exhibitions, public
programs, education programs, acquisitions and other essential
activities that our museums, monuments and Office of Archaeological Studies offer New Mexicans and visitors to our state.”
There are many ways to support the museum system, including
membership, gifts to museum education programs, and gifts and
sponsorship for exhibitions. Following is a summary of how your
generosity impacted the Museum of New Mexico between July 1,
2011 and June 30, 2012.
Membership Programs
Providing Essential Museum Support
Membership dues provided a substantial portion of the Foundation’s development income this year and translated to significant
Foundation support in the form of services to our state museums
and monuments.
More than 12,500 members in nearly 7,000 households provided
more than $1.33 million through membership dues that allow the
Foundation to assist the museums in everything from grant administration to endowment and investment management to other vital
support services.
Members of the following membership groups contributed:
General members, more than 6,500 households contributed
$560,000 through membership dues.

The Circles, a dedicated group of 265 member households
who contribute at leadership levels of more than $1,500, together
contributed $635,000 in 2011–12, or nearly half of the Foundation’s total membership revenues.
The Business Council, a dynamic group of nearly 200 New
Mexico business leaders, contributed $257,000 in 2011–12.
The Friends, enthusiastic members of museum support groups,
generated $68,000 through membership dues.
Exhibitions Development and
Director’s Leadership Funds
Sustaining the Long-term Exhibition Vision
New this year, the Foundation launched the Exhibitions
Development Fund, a special giving program that aligns a
donor’s philanthropic interests with the museum exhibitions
they wish to support. These direct gifts help pay for shipping
fees for items on loan, research expenses for curators, conservation, public programs and more. In its debut year, the fund raised
$151,000, establishing a reliable source of funding for planning
and presenting future exhibitions.
Meanwhile the Foundation’s new Director’s Leadership Fund,
which supports museum initiatives and programs led by the
museum directors through gifts of $10,000 or more, also surpassed
its funding goal and generated $330,000.
For museum directors like Mary Kershaw of the New Mexico
Museum of Art, these new funds help make our museums
dynamic, exciting, inspiring places.
“The support of our donors to the Exhibitions Development
and the Director’s Leadership Funds has given me the resources
I need to create a new rhythm to the shows in the museum, and
to work in new and surprising ways in our galleries,” Kershaw says.
“Our program this past year has been a varied menu of shows
drawn from our collections. This variety would not have been
possible without this generous support.”

support. Some highlights:

goal, and raised an additional $282,000 for future years.

chaired by trustees Bruce Chemel and Connie Jaquith, raised
$399,000 in gifts and grants, surpassing a $200,000 goal.

of International Folk Art. An additional $174,000 was pledged
for exhibitions and programs in future years.

$151,000 in pledges with a development team led by advisory
trustee Pat Hall.

in the current year.

J. Scott Hall, Chair.
The Fund for Museum Education, under the leadership of Rosalind
and Lowell Doherty, raised $200,000 in contributions for museum
education to help our cultural institutions offer hundreds of
free education programs to more than 335,000 visitors to New
Mexico’s museums and monuments each year.

As spaces that inspire lifelong learning, the fund helps children,
youth and adults expand their understanding of the diverse
cultures of the world by engaging with art, Native and regional
history, and world cultures. The fund invests in resources for
student field trips, exhibition-related art projects, teacher curriculum materials and other classroom resources.
“As former career educators, my husband and I are keenly aware
of the importance of educational experiences throughout one’s
life,” says Rosalind Doherty. “We have high hopes of topping our
campaign goals again this year in order to provide even more
support for the wonderful educational programs in our museums.”

Fund for Museum Education.
Legacy Gifts
Creating a Lasting Impact
Promised and legacy gifts totaled $4.4 million this year, surpassing
a $2 million goal and increasing total future gifts to $35 million.
Planned gifts, in the form of bequests, charitable gift annuities and
other long term pledges, unite a donor’s personal philanthropic
and financial goals and are a rewarding way to make a major
lasting impact on our cultural institutions.
Donors responded generously with bequests and other legacy gifts
as a way to honor the Foundation’s 50th Anniversary, says Foundation Vice President of Development Ann Scheflen.
“Many members came forward this year and let us know that
they had included us in their estate plans,” Scheflen says. “We
were honored by their significant commitment to our mission and
the wonderful stories they had to tell of their connection to our
museums and to the art and culture of New Mexico. We established
the Founders Society, a recognition program to honor and thank
our most loyal and generous longtime supporters, whose cumulative
contributions and planned gifts total $100,000 or more.”
“Legacy donors want to perpetuate their current giving beyond
their own lifetime to help ensure that what they treasure will be
here for future generations,” Scheflen continues. “We couldn’t be
more thankful.”

Planned Giving
Make a Positive Impact
Most of us, if given the chance, would like to contribute
to a cause that will positively impact others for generations
to come. A charitable bequest is the simplest way to create
a lasting personal legacy that will benefit the Museum of
New Mexico and all who treasure its cultural riches.
Bequests allow you to remain in control of your assets during
your lifetime, are inexpensive to create and can reduce estate
tax burdens. They can be made with cash, stock, art or real
estate. For these reasons and more, bequests account for half
of all planned gifts.
Build Your Bequest
Follow these three easy steps to a make a meaningful bequest:
• Decide the amount, purpose and beneficiary of your gift.
• Inform the Foundation of your bequest so that we can
ensure your intentions will be carried out.
• Visit your attorney to create or modify your will.
Express Your Bequest
Use this sample language to begin crafting your bequest:
“I give, devise and bequeath to the Museum of New Mexico
Foundation, a non-profit corporation in the state of New
(or
% of my estate)
Mexico, the sum of $ (or all of the residuary of my estate) to be used for (options
include, but are not limited to,: general purposes, endowment, exhibitions, educational programs, for the foundation
or a specific museum).”
To discuss options for making a bequest
or other legacy gift, contact Bonnie
McLeskey at (505) 982-6366 ext. 113 or
[email protected].

Legacy Society Members
As of October 1, 2012
The Legacy Society honors donors who have made an estate gift
through the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. Legacy Society
members enjoy exclusive gatherings, special recognition and the
satisfaction of making a difference in the future of the museums
they love. The Legacy Society was created in honor of Santa Fe
fiber artist Maggy Ryan, who bequeathed a substantial charitable
remainder trust. A planned gift may take the form of a bequest in
a will or living trust, an IRA or retirement account designation, a
gift annuity, a charitable trust or other arrangement.

Sustaining a Lifelong Connection
to Folk Art
Mark Naylor well remembers visiting the Museum of International Folk Art as a kid.
He was there with his grandfather in 1953 on the day the museum opened. And
while growing up in Albuquerque, he returned often with his family to explore the
museum, and later, to enjoy the Alexander Girard folk art collection.
“We’d come to Santa Fe and we’d always end up at the folk art museum,” Naylor
says. “The folk art museum offers something that other museums don’t — it takes
people around the world.”
Naylor and his partner, radiologist Dale Gunn, have been visiting the museum for 35
years. They stay connected to the museum as members of Friends of Folk Art and
by giving to museum exhibitions. The Albuquerque residents joined the Museum
of New Mexico Foundation in 2009 and are members of the Governor’s Circle and
regular contributors to the Fund for Museum Education. They are also part of the
Founders Society, a group of donors whose cumulative contributions and planned
gifts total $100,000 or more.
Among Naylor and Gunn’s most notable gifts to the Museum of International Folk
Art is a recent contribution to the museum’s Gallery of Conscience, an exhibition
space dedicated to examining contemporary issues faced by traditional folk artists
and cultures worldwide. Their gift will fund programming and exhibitions in this
gallery named in their honor for years to come.
“We love the Gallery of Conscience and the issues with which it deals,” Naylor says.
The couple also has made a planned gift to the museum through the Foundation’s
Legacy Society. For them, this investment honors the words written above the
entrance to the museum: The art of the craftsman is a bond between the peoples
of the world.
“Our own lives have been enhanced by the museum,” Naylor says. “We want
to make sure that future generations are engaged by the institution as well.”

Ann Neuberger Aceves
Connecting Artists
and Museums
Art philanthropy is in Ann Neuberger Aceves’s family genes.
Her father, Roy R. Neuberger, was an art collector who was
well known for supporting living artists. Neuberger, who died
at age 107 in 2010, donated his collection to the Neuberger
Museum of Art at the State University of New York in 1974
and also established the Neuberger Family Foundation. “My father was living in Paris in the 1920s when he was in his
20s,” says Aceves. “He wanted to become an artist but found
he didn’t have any talent. He read a bio about Van Gogh that
said he only sold one painting while he was alive. My father
was absolutely horrified. He said to himself that when he
went back to New York, he would go into business and hopefully make enough money so he could support living, young,
struggling American artists.”
Today, Aceves, a Regents’ Circle member, honors her father’s
philanthropic legacy by supporting the New Mexico Museum
of Art’s Director’s Leadership Fund, which provides direct
funding for the museum’s long-term exhibition planning and
programs. Aceves got involved after hearing museum director
Mary Kershaw talk about how crucial private gifts are for
exhibitions and programs. She particularly liked Kershaw’s
goal to re-connect the museum with its original history of
exhibiting works by living New Mexico artists through the
museum’s Alcove Shows.
A museum member for more than two decades, Aceves also
has given to the Foundation’s Fund for Museum Education for
numerous years, as well as to programs and projects at the
New Mexico History Museum and Palace of the Governors.
In 2011, the Neuberger Family Foundation was divided among
Aceves and her two brothers. Aceves established a family
fund through which she is now teaching her children about
philanthropy — ensuring that her parents’ philosophy of
generosity will be passed on to the next generation.

Herman Miller
Honoring Alexander Girard’s
Folk Art Legacy
When the ever-popular Museum of International Folk Art exhibition, Multiple Visions:
A Common Bond, opened in 1982 featuring 10,000 folk art items from the museum’s 106,000piece Alexander and Susan Girard collection, tables and chairs from Herman Miller were used
to furnish the museum’s atrium.
In 2012, Herman Miller honored the folk art legacy of Alexander Girard with a generous donation of new tables and chairs to refresh the museum’s atrium — and provide color and comfort
for all to enjoy.
An iconic name in modern industrial design and contemporary interior furnishings since 1923,
Herman Miller cultivated the talents of several prolific designers, including Charles and Ray
Eames, Isamu Noguchi and Alexander Girard, who from 1952–73 served as director of design
in the company’s textile division.
Girard revolutionized textile design with eccentric patterns and colors at a time when furniture
design and aesthetics were typically utilitarian and uninventive. During his time at Herman
Miller, Girard created more than 300 textile designs in various mediums, ranging from furniture and wallpapers to objects and prints. His sense of humor and passion for international
cultures significantly influenced his unique design sensibility.
“People got fainting fits if they saw bright, pure color,” Girard once said in reference to his
unorthodox use of color. By the time that Multiple Visions, which was designed by Girard,
introduced the public to the colorful folk art traditions of the world, Girard’s brilliant use of
color, pattern and form were ready to be fully embraced.
Having been captivated by nativities, toys and miniatures as a child, Girard began collecting
international folk art in the early 1930s while honeymooning with Susan in Mexico. In 1978,
the couple gifted their unparalleled collection to the Museum of International Folk Art,
helping to put the museum on the map as home to the largest collection of cross-cultural folk
art in the world.
Today, both Girard, who died in 1993, and Herman Miller continue to be recognized among
the world’s greatest innovators of contemporary design.
Top: Herman Miller donated tables and chairs to furnish the Museum of International Folk Art’s
atrium, in honor of the late Alexander Girard, who worked for the company from 1952–73.

TEACHING
NEW MEXICO
The Fund for Museum Education
Phil Schiliro of Santa Fe stands
inside Telling New Mexico, the
core exhibition at the New Mexico
History Museum, and asks, “Where
else can you see Geronimo’s rifle
and learn about the thirty shades
of brown for adobe walls?”
Phil, his wife Jody and their daughter Kate recently moved
to New Mexico from northern Virginia. Since then, the
Schiliro family has quickly learned how important tradition
is to New Mexicans.
“The history museum helps teach the origins of the rich traditions and culture of the state,” Phil continues. “The past is very
much present here. The history of the state is palpable.”
Kate, a seventh-grade student at Santa Fe Preparatory School,
also recently visited the museum with her class to participate in
the Hands on History education program. The two-part program
illuminates students’ classroom history lessons by exposing
them to exhibitions, artifacts and research that bring those
lessons to life. Spending one hour in Telling New Mexico and an
hour collecting information about exhibition artifacts, students
develop and practice their own skills of interpretation and
research while collaborating with their peers.
“It was fascinating to compare life to what it was like then to
what it is now,” Kate says of her visit. “It’s hard to imagine what
I’m learning without seeing and touching the objects.”
Hands on History is one of many programs supported by
the Museum of New Mexico Foundation’s Fund for Museum
Education, a vital source of funding that creates and enhances
educational programming at our four museums, six statewide
monuments and the Office of Archaeological Studies.
At the history museum, for example, the fund pays for a
part-time contract educator to bring the Hands on History
program to students.

museums, which are funded by the Fund for Museum
Education. © Daniel Quat Photography and Cheron Bayna.
Lisa Sheppard, Kate’s New Mexico history teacher, was the
museum’s contract educator before becoming employed at
the prep school. Sheppard not only helped develop Hands on
History, she now brings her students to the museum to benefit
from the program.
18
Learning for Life
The Fund for Museum Education benefits the following
educational programs:
“Visiting the museums serves as an opportunity for students
to get out of the comfort zone of the classroom,” Sheppard
says. “History suddenly becomes alive when it is learned within
context. The hands-on component creates a distinct memory
for each student.”
Rene Harris, collections and education programs manager at
the history museum, adds: “One of the most important things
that museums do is expose people to the real thing: the real
macaw feather, the real chain mail, the real photograph. This
is particularly important to children.” Sheppard and countless other teachers statewide rely on our
museums to provide opportunities for students to learn about
their own histories, cultures and traditions. Each year, 40,000
schoolchildren are among the more than 335,000 visitors who
participate in education programs throughout the Museum
of New Mexico system. More than a simple field trip, student
museum visits are educational experiences carefully developed
by educators and curators who collaborate to enhance classroom learning.
As institutions for lifelong learning, our museums and monuments play an essential role in providing visitors of all ages
unique educational experiences. For students and teachers
statewide, the experience is particularly valuable as New
Mexico schools decrease funding for arts education and
teachers increasingly depend on museum education programs
to fill the gap.
Students and teachers are not the only ones who benefit from
the Fund from Museum Education. While the State of New
Mexico pays expenses for museum staff and general operations, museum education programs are exclusively funded
through private gifts. Thus, the main reason that people visit
museums — to learn — is solely dependent on private giving.
The Fund for Museum Education recently received a
$75,000 grant from the Hearst Foundations to inspire
community support for museum education programs.
The Foundation is asking 500 museum members to
demonstrate that support by stepping forward with
a gift of $150 to the fund.
Show your support for museum education and make
a gift today.
• K-12 School Tours and Programs To assure
our museums are accessible to all, we offer free
docent-led exhibition tours and hands-on activities
to school groups and often reimburse schools for
the cost of bus transportation.
• Children, Teen and Family Programs Our museums
and monuments offer children, teens and their
families a place for shared learning experiences.
• Teacher Training and Materials Our museum
educators partner with local schools to train
teachers to bring arts and history curriculum
into their classrooms.
• Online Museum Collections Our museums have
robust websites that enrich a visitor’s museum
experience and serve as a vital resource for those
who cannot visit the museums.
• Exhibition Activities and Programming Our museum professionals design dynamic exhibitions
and related programming that engage audiences
of diverse ages and backgrounds.
• Programs for Lifelong Learning Our museums
and monuments provide outlets for continued
adult learning and community involvement that
includes guided tours, lectures, readings, artist
demonstrations, performances and more.
• Outreach Initiatives Our educators travel to
communities statewide to engage New Mexicans
with lectures, hands-on demonstrations and other
programming.
How to Give

year the charge is cleared, regardless of when you ask us to
