NMNWSE is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. Our public charity status is 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Donations are deductable to the extent provided by law.

Our legal name is "New Mexico Network for Women in Science and Engineering, Inc". We are also known as "NMNWSE", and we were formerly known as the "Network for Women in Science and Engineering, Inc". The change from our former to current legal name is reflected in our determination letter from the IRS dated Jan 6, 2010, but it may take a few months for that formal change to be reflected in the IRS master file and other non-profit databases.

Our tax year is Oct 1 - Sep 30. Members needing nontaxable transaction certificates or other nontaxable ID numbers for allowable purchases should contact the NMNWSE treasurer.
