[Holtz, Paul (SEC)]

Secretary William F. Galvin, Chair of the Massachusetts Historical Commission is pleased to announce that Round 19 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 grant round, Round 18, which was $780,000.


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.

Two afternoon MPPF workshops have been scheduled in January of 2013.  The first workshop will be held on Tuesday January 8, 2013 from 3:30 - 5:30pm at the Millbury Public Library in Millbury, MA.  The second workshop will be held on Thursday January 10, 2013 from 2:00-  4:00pm at the MHC offices in the Massachusetts Archives Building in Dorchester, MA.

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.
