Your Donations Keep Kids in Parks!

The State Parks Kids in Parks transportation grants provide teachers with funds for buses to connect their students to the outdoors. Teachers must connect classroom learning to the outdoors and evaluate students’ experiences.

Your contributions have made it possible for more than 170,000 kids to participate in the Kids in Parks program since 2007.

To make a contribution using a tax refund, fill in Line 40 of your NM Personal Income Tax Return (PIT-1) that reads, “Refund voluntary contributions” and attach a PIT-D, New Mexico Voluntary Contributions Schedule.
