Each year Keep New Mexico Beautiful awards grants to schools, municipalities, chambers of commerce, organizations, and governmental agencies. Grant applications are available in the fall, judged at the end of the year (the deadline is on the grant application), and approved or denied at the beginning of the year.

Cloud Callout: When I judge a grant, I like to take a step backwards and view the applicants shopping cart and then see how well those items align with KNMB goals and the impact it will have on a community!
