Progress often begins with open-ended questions. What if we could do this differently? What if we could understand this more deeply? What if an idea developed here in New Mexico could change a life somewhere else?

Across UNM, those questions are being asked every day in laboratories and libraries, studios and clinics, classrooms and communities. Philanthropy gives our researchers, scholars, artists and students the freedom to follow those questions wherever they lead. And sometimes, one question can change what we thought was possible.
