Lori, Sorry for the delayed response. The University of New Mexico briefly addresses the topic of donations to outside charities in its policy on <http://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/4000/4000.html> <http://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/4000/4000.html> allowable and unallowable expenditures<http://policy.unm.edu/university-policies/4000/4000.html> (see below). This provision serves as placeholder language until we develop a fundraising policy, which will address such topics as fundraisers by student organizations that are not legal arms of the University.
8. Political and Charitable Contributions Using University funds to make political contributions to individuals or organizations is strictly prohibited. Charitable contributions to individuals and organizations, including non-profits, are generally prohibited. Such contributions may be allowable when they have a University business purpose, are consistent with the University's mission, and provide value to the University. Additionally, the contributions may be allowable if they fall within one of the exceptions of the so-called Anti-Donation Clause in Article IX, Section 14 of the New Mexico Constitution<http://ua.unm.edu/anti-donation.html>. Under the Anti-Donation Clause, the University is generally prohibited from making charitable contributions to non-state entities.

Students and other community members frequently seek the opportunity to raise funds for outside entities. These are usually good causes, but we have been concerned about giving the impression that the funds are being raised through the College. Does anyone have a policy addressing on-campus fundraising for unrelated charities? Thanks. LEF -- Lori E.
