​Ways to Give

The Mr. & Mrs. Sanford N. McDonnell
Foundation Matching Endowment 


Through a generous gift agreement, the McDonnell Foundation will match donations to the Robb Musical Trust. We invite you to consider a legacy gift that will help assure the financial future of the Trust.


​John Donald Robb, Jr.,
Memorial Fund


Gifts in memory of John Donald Robb, Jr., a major contributor to the development of the University of New Mexico Robb Musical Trust, may be designated to the UNM Robb Musical Trust. Following his parents’ deaths in 1989, Robb guided their wishes to establish a unique endowment at UNM. As the first chairman of the Robb Trust Committee, Robb, Jr. dutifully carried out his parents’ wishes, and in subsequent years served in many other capacities as he influenced the growth of the Robb Musical Trust from a small committee to a fully realized Board of Directors with more than 20 members.  He was very active in Trust projects until his death in 2014.
