The New Mexico Humanities Council is accepting grant applications for its Grant Program.
Donor Name: New Mexico Humanities Council
State: New Mexico
County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/22/2022
Size of the Grant: $5,500
Details:
New Mexico Humanities Council grants are pass-through awards of Federal funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Grant awards must be matched by other sources to equal or exceed the amount of the award. This requirement can be satisfied entirely with in-kind contributions, such as donated facilities, services, and time or with the sponsor’s cash or program income. Federal pass-through grants require a lot of paperwork, with backup documentation and receipts kept in order for three years for auditing purposes. The Project Director and Fiscal Agent must both be aware of requirements and keep accurate and complete records for reporting purposes.
Funding Information
- The average amount granted by NMHC is $5,500.
Grant Considerations
- Any organization that receives funding from NMHC is welcome to apply again only after a current grant has successfully closed. If the program activities described are different from the previous grant, the Council will consider it a legitimate request and not a form of continued funding for the same project.
- Preference will be given for outreach to new and/or historically underserved audiences, new venues or locations, the participation of new scholars in NMHC projects and/or projects that involve under-represented humanities disciplines.
- Preference will be given to applicants for targeted strategic programming instead of catch-all programming or for an add-on humanities component.
- All award decisions made by the NMHC Board as recommended by the NMHC Grant Committee are final.
