Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA NRCS NM 19 01 GEN0010095
The New Mexico Conservation Funding Announcement is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), designed to strengthen conservation work across New Mexico by partnering with organizations that can help deliver outreach, education, and on-the-ground support tied to Farm Bill conservation efforts. Funding is provided through grants and cooperative agreements, with the intent of expanding public awareness and practical adoption of NRCS-related conservation programs and activities. The announcement emphasizes collaboration with local and statewide conservation partners to help more producers, landowners, and community groups understand available assistance and successfully implement conservation practices.
The legal authority behind the opportunity comes from two main sources. One is NRCS Conservation Technical Assistance, authorized under the Soil Conservation and Domestic Allotment Act (Public Law 74-76; 16 U.S.C. 590a-f and 590q). The other is the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), authorized under Chapter 4 of Subtitle D of Title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3839aa through 3839aa-8), with amendments effective February 7, 2014. In practical terms, those authorities support NRCS in working with partners to provide technical and educational assistance, and to help agricultural and rural communities participate effectively in conservation programs supported by the Farm Bill.
The core purpose of the announcement is to support partners who can promote public awareness and implementation of Farm Bill conservation activities, including (but not limited to) organizing and delivering conservation outreach workshops and training. The target audience is broad and explicitly includes New Mexico's agricultural community, private landowners, conservation organizations, cooperating agencies, acequias, land grants, and the general public. The thrust is not simply general environmental education, but targeted outreach and capacity-building that helps people understand conservation options, navigate programs, and apply conservation approaches in real working landscapes. Although the notice references "main focus areas" without listing them in the provided excerpt, the framing makes clear that NRCS is prioritizing activities that increase participation, improve understanding, and support implementation of NRCS and Farm Bill conservation initiatives within the state.
NRCS indicates it will accept applications for either single-year or multi-year projects. Applicants who want multi-year agreements are expected to clearly state that in their applications. This multi-year option suggests NRCS is open to longer-term partnerships that build sustained community engagement, repeat trainings, ongoing technical support, or multi-season outreach strategies, rather than only one-off events.
From the funding details provided, the opportunity number is USDA NRCS NM 19 01 GEN0010095, originally posted April 1, 2019, with an original closing date of May 31, 2019. The award ceiling listed is $70,000, and NRCS anticipated making about 15 awards. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA numbers are 10.902 and 10.912, which correspond to NRCS assistance programs (including Conservation Technical Assistance and EQIP-related assistance). Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being in a separate text field in the full announcement, implying that a range of non-federal entities may be able to apply depending on the specific eligibility language in the full notice.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a partnership and outreach-focused funding announcement meant to widen the reach and effectiveness of conservation programming in New Mexico. It supports organizations that can translate Farm Bill conservation opportunities into practical knowledge and action by delivering trainings, workshops, and related outreach that serve producers, landowners, traditional community institutions like acequias and land grants, and the wider public interested in conserving natural resources.Apply for USDA NRCS NM 19 01 GEN0010095
