The New Mexico Department of Information Technology (NM DoIT) was awarded a $8,673,975.84 Project Grant from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) under the State Digital Equity Planning and Capacity Grant Program (CFDA 11.032). The purpose of this 5-year grant, with a start date of December 1, 2024, is to implement the New Mexico Digital Equity Plan developed under a previous NTIA planning grant.
