New Mexico FundIt

For Infrastructure, Community and Economic Development Projects: An Easier Way to Find Funding

New Mexico FundIt assists communities in accessing financing from over 15 different state and federal entities—all at one in-person meeting.  FundIt is not a grant program; it is a platform connecting your community with a variety of different agencies and resources simultaneously. This collaboration saves time, improves effective project review and support, and ensures strategic investments with public resources. 

Let FundIt help you navigate the funding world, and make connections with resources for your community in the commercial and public sectors.

How does it work?

Before you apply...

Ideally your project should be listed as a priority on the local Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (ICIP), Economic Development Plan, and/or Comprehensive Master Plan.
