The New Jersey Historical Commission (NJHC) Releases FY 2020 Project Grant Guidelines;
Announces Two Workshops for Prospective Applicants
The New Jersey Historical Commission (NJHC) is pleased to announce the release of its FY 2020 Project Grant Guidelines, in addition to two (2) project grant workshops for potential applicants ahead in January 2019. The workshops will serve several important purposes for those considering applying. This includes going over the FY 2020 Project Grant guidelines themselves, answering all questions (e.g. project types, eligibility etc.), and providing a demonstration on how to register and apply through the NJHC’s online grants database – the System to Administer Grants Electronically (SAGE).
 What’s New for FY 2020
 With an emphasis on continually revisiting and updating its grant guidelines to maximize programmatic impact, the NJHC has introduced some new Project Grant eligibility guidelines for FY 2020. Among them:
  • Organizations with budgets under $100,000 may partner together to meet the budget and audience threshold on eligible New Jersey history projects.
  • Organizations may only apply for Project Grant support from either the NJHC or their designated county re-grant agency (CHPP) in any calendar year.
(NOTE: Organizations with budgets under $100,000 may still apply for Project Grant support from the NJHC and GOS support from their county re-grant agency in the same calendar year.)

Thursday, February 27 – Mercer County              Princeton Preservation Group to Meet on February 27 about Papyrus     Ask anyone on the street in Princeton what the Princeton Preservation Group is and you are likely to get a raised eyebrow and a guess that they are people who want to preserve the town.  Actually, the Princeton Preservation Group (PPG) has been meeting several times per year since 1983 to hear lectures on a wide range of topics relating to the preservation of cultural artifacts, including books, manuscripts, artwork, furniture, photographs, tombstones, Lucy the Elephant, quilts, costumes, videotapes, and buildings, just to name a few.       The “Princeton” in PPG’s name derives from its founder, the late Susan Swartzburg, Preservation Librarian at Alexander Library at Rutgers. Swartzburg, a Princeton resident, taught a class in the Rutgers graduate librar...
