Applications for 2023 Heritage Project Grant Program Now Available
The 2023 Heritage Grant Program is intended to support projects that increase public awareness and access to Tacoma’s history, as well as and support the City of Tacoma’s policy goals regarding equity and antiracism. Eligible applicants including non-profits and public and educational institutions are encouraged to apply. The matching grants, totaling $40,000, can be awarded for amounts between $1,000 and $10,000 for projects.
Funding can be used for a number of activities, including:
- Exhibitions, workshops, events or educational activities
- Development and production of interpretive materials
- Professional services required to research a historical publication or register nomination
- Documentation of an artifact or historical site,
- A historic site assessment, conservation materials, and, in some limited cases, capacity building for organizations with heritage as their primary mission
Funding for Heritage Projects is determined through a competitive application process, and funding from year to year is not guaranteed. Contract awards will be based on budgetary factors and the evaluation criteria detailed on the guidelines form.
A public grant information session was held on March 9 from 4-5 PM on Zoom:
