Home Bicentennial MenuCounty History Partnership Program (CHPP) Grant
The County History Partnership Program (CHPP) was created in 2015 by the New Jersey Historical Commission (NJHC) to extend the administration of local re-granting programs to all of New Jersey's 21 counties. This program enables the NJHC to support existing and emerging local history organizations and other eligible non-profit organizations providing New Jersey history projects, programs, and services to benefit diverse public audiences.
The Division of Cultural & Heritage Affairs (WCCHA) is the agency officially designated in Warren County to apply for, receive and administer grant funds from the NJHC for this program. Grant funds will be awarded through a formal competitive application/independent peer review panel process to support eligible local history organizations and other non-profit organizations within Warren County that provide public New Jersey history projects, programs, and services to benefit diverse public audiences.
