Alternate giving through Gifts of Hope provides the opportunity to help local organizations and honor family and friends in a meaningful way. They help you connect to 24 local Albuquerque organizations, including Children's Cancer Fund of New Mexico, through their Gifts of Hope Catalog. You determine the gift amount and they provide a free Gift Card to send to the person being honored. What a perfect way to celebrate any occasion.

Every cent of your donation goes directly to CCFNM, or whatever organization you wish to support. All cards include an informational insert describing the agency's program and indicate that a donation has been given in honor of the card's recipient.
