HSNM GENERAL GRANT GUIDELINES

HSNM General Grants help individuals, organizations, and institutions implement projects that increase the knowledge of New Mexico history, disseminate information on the history of New Mexico and the Southwest, and encourage the preservation of historic objects and properties. They
support a wide variety of projects, such as equipment acquisition, educational programming, exhibits, site improvements, digitization and indexing of historic records, preservation projects, and research-related travel. Maximum grant award is $1,000, no match required. Applicants will be
notified of their proposal status by August 1. Projects (or those portions of larger projects for which grant support was sought) should be completed by August 1 of the following year.
