All of these services are provided confidentially and free of charge.

Fundraising tools

There are several fundraising activities that the New Mexico Alzheimer's Association hosts. Several of these activities are held year round, while some are annual events. It is the funding that the Association receives throughout the year is what funds the New Mexico office. Without funding, the resources that many take advantage of, would not be possible.
