Guides, templates, and databases for NM nonprofits and artists
Artwork Archive: Artist Inventory and Portfolio Management
A platform built specifically for artists to track their artwork inventory, exhibition history, sales, consignments, and contacts in one place. Generates professional documents including certificates of authenticity, invoices, consignment agreements, and condition reports. Used by galleries and individual artists. Free plan available; paid plans add more storage and features. Artists typically use Artwork Archive to track a full catalog of pieces alongside pricing history, storage location, and where each work has been shown or sold, which becomes especially useful when applying for grants or consignment agreements that ask for a documented body of work. The free plan covers a limited number of pieces, and paid tiers scale up storage and add features like a public portfolio website and collector CRM tools, which is why galleries as well as solo artists rely on it for inventory management.
CaFE: Calls for Entry for New Mexico Artists
CaFE (Call for Entry) is the leading online platform for public art, exhibition, and juried show applications. New Mexico artists can search for open calls filtered by state, medium, deadline, and type. Used by galleries, museums, public art programs, and arts organizations across the country. Free for artists to create a profile and apply. Artists build a free CaFE profile once and reuse it to apply to any call listed on the platform, uploading work samples, a resume, and an artist statement that carry over between applications rather than needing to be resubmitted each time. New Mexico-specific searches turn up calls from the state's museums, public art programs, and regional arts councils alongside national and international opportunities, and most calls list a jury panel and notification date so applicants know what to expect after submitting.
Candid (GuideStar): Nonprofit Research Database
The most comprehensive database of U.S. nonprofit profiles, including financial data, leadership, mission statements, and Form 990s. Free access allows searching and viewing basic profiles. Essential for researching peer organizations, benchmarking, and identifying potential funders. New Mexico nonprofits should claim and update their own Candid profile to improve visibility with grantmakers. Claiming and updating a Candid profile is free and earns a nonprofit a Seal of Transparency (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum depending on how much financial and programmatic detail is disclosed); Candid's own research found that organizations with a Seal raise an average of 62% more in contributions the year after earning it. Many funders now check for a Seal before reviewing a grant application, which makes claiming a profile one of the higher-leverage, lowest-cost steps a New Mexico nonprofit can take. A paid Premium tier adds deeper funder-matching data, though small nonprofits under $1 million in revenue that reach Gold status can often get free access to it through Candid's periodic promotions.
