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

As part of the online application, Individual Applicants must upload a completed version of the FY25 Letter of Support template documenting that their SWCD or tribal nation has agreed to be their project sponsor.

For Individual Applicants seeking support and sponsorship from Ciudad SWCD, please complete the form below and upload the required materials by  Thursday,  April 18th.
