Charities
Look before you give!
The Charities Unit of the Attorney General’s Office can tell you if a charitable
organization is registered with us.
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. The 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 ensure
that the assets are used for their intended charitable purposes as well as protect
New Mexico’s citizens from unlawful solicitation practices by fundraisers.
Most New Mexico charities and New Mexico private foundations must electronically
register and file annual financial reports with the Office of the Attorney General.
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.
