Cultural Properties Restoration Fund (“CPRF”) Grant Program
The Land of Enhancement Legacy Fund was established by Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham in 2023 to support conservation and preservation projects in the State of New Mexico. The Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) was fortunate to be one of eight participating departments to receive funding. The New Mexico Historic Preservation Division (HPD) will administer this program through the Cultural Properties Restoration Fund by offering agencies and other political subdivisions of the state up to $250,000 to fund historic preservation efforts.
