[MassHistPres] MPPF Round 13 Announcement

[Holtz, Paul @ SEC]

Secretary William F. Galvin, Chair of the Massachusetts Historical Commission is pleased to announce that Round 13 of the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund (MPPF) grant program has been scheduled. It is anticipated that funding will be in the range of the previous two grant rounds, Rounds 11 and 12, which were $750,000 and $1,000,000, respectively.


Administered by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC), the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund (MPPF) is a state-funded 50% reimbursable matching grant program established in 1984 to support the preservation of properties, landscapes, and sites listed in the State Register of Historic Places. Applicants must be a municipality or non-profit organization. The program is administered in accordance with 950 CMR 73.00. Please note that grant disbursement is subject to appropriation and the availability of sufficient allocated funds pending extension of the state bond cap.


A series of MPPF workshops have been scheduled for the coming weeks at various locations throughout Massachusetts. Join a member of the MHC's Grants Division as they explain the program requirements, go over program materials, and give you the opportunity to ask questions. Workshops are free of charge and no registration is required. 


The application for the next round of grants, Round 13, is due February 21, 2007. For MPPF program information, downloadable application/instructions, and a listing of the upcoming grant workshops please visit the MHC's website <http://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/> or call the MHC at 617-727-8470.
