Workshop on Funding Opportunities for Historic Preservation and Museum Projects

The Maryland Historical Trust, in cooperation with the Maryland Humanities Council, Preservation Maryland, Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), and the Maryland State Highway Administration offers an afternoon workshop on grant opportunities for heritage preservation projects.  This event provides audience members an overview of preservation and museum funding programs, highlighting priorities for the up-coming fiscal year and contact personnel for each grant program. 

The workshop features Capital, Museum and Non-capital MHT grants and grants offered by the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority and Maryland Traditions (a cooperative program of MHT and the Maryland State Arts Council).  Grant programs from the Humanities Council, State Highway Administration, DHCD, and Preservation Maryland will also be fully described.  In this one afternoon, participants will come away with an understanding of funding opportunities available for the coming year.

The workshop is free, though participants are asked to register so that we may provide appropriate handouts.  If you are new to grants, bring along other staff and volunteers to hear these presentations.
