Deadline: 21-Oct-21
County of Santa Clara Historical Heritage Commission is inviting applications from eligible applicants for its Historical Heritage Grant Program.
The Board of Supervisors of the County of Santa Clara established the Historical Heritage Grant Program (HHGP) in 1990 to promote historic preservation and the awareness of significant cultural, historical, and archaeological resources within Santa Clara County. Funding is provided through the dedication of a portion of the County Park Charter Development Funds to the HHGP.
The Board of Supervisors awards grants on a competitive basis following staff review and Historical Heritage Commission (HHC) recommendation. The Board of Supervisors is not obligated to fund any HHGP projects, even if the project has been deemed eligible for funding and/or the HHC recommends funding in any amount.
