Good morning everyone.

This is an announcement for the County History Partnership Program (CHPP) Grant for 2025. If any county-wide non-profits are working on a history project and would like to apply for funding, the workshop for all new applicants is on Monday, Dec. 16 at 2pm. Please email Gina (grosseland@co.warren.nj.us) if you are interested in being added to the list. Links will be emailed on Friday, 12/13.

The CHPP grant was created in 2015 by the New Jersey Historical Commission to extend the administration of local re-granting programs to all of New Jersey's 21 counties. This program enables the NJGHC to support existing and emerging local history organizations and other eligible non-profit organizations in the County funding for NJ history projects, programs and services that benefit our diverse public audiences.

The Division of Cultural & Heritage Affairs (WCCHA) is the agency that has been designated in the County to apply for, receive and administer grant funds from the NJHC for this program.

For more information, please visit: www.warrencountynjheritage.com/history/county-history-partnership-program-grant

The workshop is required for all applicants, new and previous, who have completed the technical workshop. Applications are due on Friday, January 10th by 3pm to Gina Rosseland via email (grosseland@co.warren.nj.us).

There have been some really fantastic projects to come about as a result of this grant. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Gina. ... See MoreSee Less

A jolly thank you to New Jersey Youth Corps of Phillipsburg for decorating the outside of the Manor for the holiday season.
