Small Grants

Each year as one of the nation's state historic preservation offices, the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division receives a portion of the federal Historic Preservation Fund from the National Park Service. Funding makes it possible for HPD to meet its mission through survey work, comprehensive preservation studies, State and National Register nominations, project reviews, providing educational materials and engaging in community outreach.

HPD is required to set aside 10% of its annual HPF allocation for grants to participating Certified Local Governments. CLGs apply annually for these special grants, which fund a variety of preservation activities and the continuing education of staff and board members. 

Small preservation grants can help fund Register nominations, outreach, conditions assessments or lay the groundwork for a major preservation project

In addition, HPD has used part of its portion of the HPF to facilitate small preservation grants in most years. Small grant awards have helped fund development of historic property inventories, architectural and archaeological surveys and assessments, State and National Register nominations, preservation planning, and outreach and education through publications, documentary film making and conferences. Individuals, archaeological and historical societies, preservation organizations and not-for-profits, consultants and local governments are eligible to apply.
