Description
The Southwest Intervention Fund provides small, catalytic grants to support preservation efforts and emergency interventions for historic and cultural sites representing traditional cultures in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, West Texas, and Utah. The fund is designed to help local partners, nonprofits, and government agencies respond quickly to urgent threats or seize strategic opportunities to protect important cultural resources.

Projects may focus on a single site or have a broader regional impact, provided all activities occur within the designated Southwest region.
