As of August 2026, a New Mexico small business can be matched against 108 programs: 9 New Mexico state programs, 42 national programs open to NM businesses, and 57 federal grants via Grants.gov.
Most of these programs never run an ad. The money is real — the problem is that nobody tells you it exists. That's the part we fixed.
New Mexico's own programs first, then national programs — every one names its funder, and every one is genuinely open to NM businesses. No padding, no filler.

6 more New Mexico programs — plus the 40 national and 57 federal matches — are scored against your specific business in your full report.
No. A grant is not a loan. Some programs ask for a short report on how the money was used — that's the whole obligation.
Get ready before the window opens. Quantum Technologies Award lists its next window as “~Spring 2027 (typically due April 30)”; NM Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Matching Grant as “~Annual cycle expected to reopen”. The owners who win are the ones whose applications are ready the week a window opens — not the ones who find out it existed the week it closed.
State programs come from New Mexico's own budget and only NM businesses can win them — less competition. National programs are run by companies and foundations and are open to businesses in every state. Federal grants come through Grants.gov and tend to be larger and more paperwork-heavy.
Every program shows the date we last verified it against the funder's own page. Anything that closes, moves, or changes gets caught by our weekly re-check.
This page lists programs. The report scores all 108 against your actual business — your industry, your county, how you're owned — and comes with up to 10 written applications, done with you.
This page can't read your business. The 3-minute quiz can — it matches your industry, county, and ownership against all 108 programs and shows you where you stand.
