The Poeh Museum receives it's general operating funds from the Pueblo of Pojoaque, who in 1995 made the initial development of the Poeh Center possible. The tribe has continued to support construction projects totaling $1,261,129. Their ongoing support makes the Poeh Museum possible. Additionally, the Pueblo of PojoaqueConstruction Company serves the Pueblo of Pojoaque and projects outside of the tribal community. Proceeds from construction projects outside of the Pueblo are contributed for ongoing construction of the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum.

The Poeh Museum has been very fortunate to receive substantial funding from a number of private foundations, corporations, and governmental agencies, including:

2003
The United States Congress awarded $630,000 to complete the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum.

The Permanent Collection is currently available for viewing by appointment.

The New Mexico State Legislature awarded $250,000 to assist with the completion of the Poeh Cultural Center and Museum.
