A grants program is an integral part of supporting historic preservation throughout the State of New Mexico. However, at this time, the Historic Preservation Division does not have funding for its Historic Preservation Grant program. If you represent a Certified Local Government, annual grant funds are available via the CLG Grants program, please visit here for more.

The Historic Preservation Division periodically has funding available and shares information about other funding sources. If you wish to receive email notification about these opportunities, please send an email request to NM.SHPO@state.nm.us to be included in grants notifications.

CLG Grants

A Certified Local Government (CLG) is a community which has a made a commitment towards preservation at the local level and has passed a preservation ordinance and established a preservation commission. CLGs can apply annually for these grants which fund a variety of preservation activities and the continuing education of staff and board members.
