Grants

The Morris County Heritage Commission, an advisory body of the Morris County Board of County Commissioners, has received a grant of $51,000 to provide re-grants for local history projects and General Operating Support (GOS) from the New Jersey Historical Commission, a division of the Department of State. The re-grant program supports a variety of efforts to increase appreciation, knowledge, and preservation of Morris County’s history.

History organizations, such as historical societies, museums, and historic preservation societies are eligible to apply for either General Operating Support or a Project Grant between $1,000 and $7,000.  Fraternal, veterans’, education, youth and ethnic organizations are invited to apply for project grants for which a minimum of $500 but no more than $5,000 will be awarded. No cash match is required.
