The New Mexico Oil and Gas Association (NMOGA) has launched its annual Ultimate Backpack Giveaway as the 2025–2026 school year begins. The event offers a chance for five students in grades K-12 across New Mexico to win a backpack filled with an iPad, keyboard, school supplies, and a pizza party for their class.
"NMOGA has long been a proponent of supporting and strengthening the New Mexico school system, and we’re proud of the industry’s impact on N.M. students."
In 2024, the oil and gas sector contributed $2.3 billion in tax revenue to support public schools throughout New Mexico. This funding helps sustain 386 public schools, pays for 9,580 teachers, and benefits approximately 130,508 students statewide.
