New Mexico Grants

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of grants are available in New Mexico?

New Mexico organizations can access federal grants (open to all states), state government grants administered by New Mexico agencies, and private foundation grants from funders that serve New Mexico. Common grant areas include education, community development, health services, arts, and small business support.

How do I find New Mexico state government grants?

Start with your state's grants portal and major agencies. Most New Mexico state grants are posted on the state government website or Grants.gov for federal pass-through programs. Contact your New Mexico legislators' offices for guidance on state-specific programs, as they often know about funding that isn't widely advertised.

Are there grants for New Mexico small businesses?

Yes. New Mexico small businesses can access SBA federal programs, state economic development grants, and local business assistance programs. Check with your local Small Business Development Center (SBDC), which provides free guidance on New Mexico-specific funding opportunities and application assistance.
