[MassHistPres] Announcing MPPF Round 15

[Holtz, Paul @ SEC]

Secretary William F. Galvin, Chair of the Massachusetts Historical
Commission is pleased to announce that Round 15 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 13 and 14, which were $750,000 and $800,000,
respectively.

 

Administered by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC), the 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 nonprofit organization. The program is administered in
accordance with 950 CMR 73.00. Please note that grant disbursement is
subject to reauthorization of the capital accounts and the availability
of sufficient allocated funds.

 

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. 

 

Applications for the next round of grants, Round 15, are due February
20, 2009. For MPPF program information, downloadable
