Ideal Applicant
An established New Mexico organization (nonprofit or public institution) capable of serving as a program partner or SAMHSA subrecipient, especially organizations working on newcomer/refugee wellbeing in Albuquerque.
Good Fit
- • Located in New Mexico, preferably Albuquerque.
- • Capacity and systems to manage federal subawards or large program contracts.
- • Programmatic focus on behavioral health, newcomer wellbeing, or related SAMHSA priorities.
- • Existing relationships or partnership history with local collaboratives or universities.
- • Demonstrated fiscal and programmatic capacity to receive repeat multi-year awards.
Geography
All observed grants in the latest years went to Albuquerque recipients in New Mexico, showing a tightly localized, state-level focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows only two distinct recipients and both were repeat recipients from the prior year, indicating a very small, focused recipient set.
New Applicants
Across multiple years the same two local partners received support and no public application process was found; this pattern points to program- or relationship-driven giving with limited pathways for unfamiliar applicants.
