Look before you give!
The Registry of Charitable Organizations can tell you if a charitable organization
is registered with our office.
Charity Search
The office of the New Mexico Attorney General oversees charities (except for religious
and educational organizations) that exist, operate or solicit contributions in this
state and this office has the duty to protect the interests of all public beneficiaries
of charities within its jurisdiction. The Attorney General may conduct investigations
and bring legal actions to protect the assets of New Mexico charities and insure
that the assets are used for their intended charitable purposes.
Most New Mexico charities and all New Mexico private foundations must register
and file annual financial reports with the Attorney General's Registry of Charitable
Organizations.
In carrying out these charity oversight duties, the Attorney General's office provides
information and assistance to many individuals who serve as directors, officers,
volunteers, fundraisers, accountants and attorneys for charitable organizations.
The Attorney General's office also provides the public with certain information
on registered charities and their professional fundraisers.
