Description
The Project Implementation Grant, part of the New Mexico Match Fund administered by the New Mexico Department of Finance and Administration (DFA), provides targeted capacity funding to eligible entities that have received a Matching Grant. Its purpose is to help these recipients fully implement their federally funded projects by addressing staffing, administrative, compliance, and other resource gaps that can impede successful project delivery. This grant is designed as a supplemental resource to ensure that projects already awarded federal and matching state funds are managed and completed effectively, especially in areas like infrastructure, research, economic development, and energy transition across New Mexico.
