GuideAt the core of the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta (AIBF) is a desire to give back to the community that has contributed to our success.
Each year, AIBF allocates a budget to support community activities through contributions in the form of tickets or merchandise. However, requests have become so numerous that they exceed our financial and logistical capabilities. In order to fairly distribute our support to as many organizations as possible, we ask that you review the following information and complete the Donation Request Form.
Preference is given to local, New Mexico-based organizations. Organizations outside the state of New Mexico will also be considered.
IMPORTANT DATES
Read the requirements below and submit your request.
Requests should be submitted at least 30 days prior to the date your item is needed.
