Funding Lifelong Learning in New Mexico Since 1992

The 2026 STEM grant cycle opens in October.

Welcome!

The New Mexico Library Foundation supports identified needs of New Mexico libraries, by providing grants to build and maintain their collections, update information access technology and enhance library programs.

Impact Statement

Since 1992, NMLF has helped New Mexico libraries foster lifelong learning and ensure relevance to the communities they serve.

Congratulations Development Grantees!

This year, 12 libraries from every corner of New Mexico have earned the NMLF Development Grant—and we couldn’t be more excited. Your bold ideas and your library’s growth inspire us, and we’re proud to help bring your visions to life.

Thank you donors and supporters!

We would like to take a moment to say thank you to our donors and supporters of the New Mexico Library Foundation.

Without your support, we would not be able to provide supplemental funding to libraries who are seeking to improve their library collections and/or enhance library programs for the population they serve.
