MHC Announcing MPPF Round 21 & Workshops

Secretary William F. Galvin, Chair of the Massachusetts Historical Commission is pleased to announce that Round 21 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 20, 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 appropriation and the availability of sufficient allocated funds pending extension of the state bond cap.
Two afternoon workshops will be held on Wednesday April 8, 2015 at the Millbury Public Library from 3:00 -5:00 pm and on Friday April 10, 2015 at the MHC offices in the Massachusetts Archives Building in Dorchester, MA from 1:00 - 3:00pm.

MHC hopes that your schedule allows you to 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.  Applicants are encouraged to begin compiling application materials before attending a workshop, or as soon as possible, to allow sufficient time to meet the application deadline.

Applications for this next round of MPPF grants, Round 21, are due May 15, 2015. MPPF program information, downloadable Application/Instructions, and directions for the upcoming grant workshops can be found online. Please visit the MPPF main page of the MHC's website:
