Annually, The Music Guild of New Mexico invites nonprofit organizations to submit funding requests for programs or projects benefiting music organizations in New Mexico. Per the Mission and Vision statements, special consideration is given to projects and programs focusing on Youth and Education.
Our mission is to promote and encourage nonprofit music organizations that educate, engage and enrich the music community. We look forward to supporting organizations that help provide a healthy music culture for the State of New Mexico, especially its youth.
Since its inception the Grant Program of the Music Guild of New Mexico has awarded over $400,000. We appreciate our past recipients as they have provided immeasurable benefits to thousands of New Mexicans through wide-ranging music and performance venues. We look forward to new and repeat applicants. The minimum amount for grant awards is $500 and the maximum is $6,000. The amount of each award and the number of awards granted is determined by the amount raised by the Music Guild of New Mexico during the year. Awards are typically announced in May. The current grant application process can be accessed by either clicking the request grant button at the top of every page of the MGNM website or by selecting the Grants tab on any page in the main menu on the Guild’s website.
To help us maintain a high level of impartiality in our selection process, we request the applicants follow all the guidelines carefully, including submitting a current nonprofit organization registration with the NM Attorney General’s Office, a current financial statement and other required attachments.
