Project sponsorship allows Individual Applicants fiscal access to NMDA’s Healthy Soil Program grant funding. Project Sponsors help Individual Applicants adhere to their timeline and budget, invoice correctly for reimbursement, report on their grant progress in a timely way, and more.

Only two types of parties can serve as an Individual Applicant’s Project Sponsor:

• The New Mexico soil and water conservation district (SWCD) in which you reside
• Your New Mexico-based pueblo, tribe, or nation
