Funding Guidelines and Application

Tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, units of government, schools, colleges, universities, and Indian tribal government entities in New Mexico are eligible to apply. Organizations wishing to apply that are not one of the above may enter into a fiscal sponsorship with a nonprofit organization. If using a fiscal agent, a formal agreement between the agent and the applicant is required. Please read the Fiscal Agent Agreement in the funding guidelines before submitting an application.

FY2019 FoundantGLM Online Application:

All New Mexico Arts new and returning applicants will use our new FoundantGLM system to prepare and submit their FY2019 application. The application is now available.

FY2018 returning grantees will use the same log-on and password provided for their FY2018 invoices. (If you have not received your log-on because your FY2018 contract has not been returned to us or your fully executed contract returned to you, please contact your New Mexico Arts program coordinator. Do NOT create a new account in the system.) New applicants and returning grantees from prior years will need to create an account in the new system.
