Now Accepting Community Based Grant Nominations

Published on Wednesday, April 2, 2025

Nomination Form

The Encantado Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of the Spring 2025 Community Based Grant funding opportunity. Completed nominations will be accepted today through Friday, May 2, 2025 until 11:59pm (Mountain). Grant awards in amounts up to $5,000 will be available.

Community Based Grants are available to nonprofit organizations and/or fiscally sponsored projects that increase access to and build awareness for STEM learning opportunities and career pathways in Central and Northern New Mexico.

This open, competitive funding opportunity seeks a broader view of the Foundation’s hire-ready mission. This funding opportunity strives to support STEM programs, operations, or special events.

In response to increased interest in collaborations, the Foundation is also offering a collaborative grant award to two partnering nonprofit organizations. One collaborative grant award, up to $10,000, will be awarded to partnering organizations that advance the goals of the Community Based Grant funding program. The collaborative effort must discuss the partnership’s mutual benefits, organizational strengths, sustainability, and desired beneficiary benefits.

Once again, the Foundation is using an easy-to-access nomination form that does not require a user account. Nominators may access the nomination form directly on the Foundation’s website.
