Securities

Please contact the Office of Development for information on transferring securities by calling 505-946-3678.

Planned Giving

A planned gift is special. It represents your life’s achievements, illustrates your world view, and communicates your hope for the future. Including SFI in your estate plan also demonstrates your dedication to complexity science research and your commitment to the Institute. A planned gift is an opportunity to ensure that your support of SFI’s groundbreaking work will continue far into the future.

Wire Transfer

Wire transfers are most commonly used for gifts made from outside the United States. To ensure proper disposition of the gift please contact the Office of Development for instructions on how you can wire your gift by calling 505-946-3678.

Match Your Gift

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by employees. Request a matching gift form from your employer and send the signed form to SFI along with your gift. The impact of your gift to the Institute may be doubled or possibly tripled. Some companies also match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses.
