As the Virginia Museum of History & Culture (VMHC) prepares for the 2024 Commonwealth History Fund grant cycle, the museum encourages organizations that wish to receive funding to begin planning now.
The Commonwealth History Fund was established by the Virginia Museum of History & Culture in partnership with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR), to support and encourage meaningful history education and preservation projects throughout the Commonwealth. The fund provides grants to eligible recipients which include Virginia non-profits, educational institutions and state-recognized Virginia Indian tribes. Funding can be used for several purposes including preservation, publications, research, conservation of artifacts and educational programming.
The VMHC will begin receiving applications for its third annual grant cycle starting Sept. 1, 2023. Winners will be noti- fied in December. Applicants can view grant guidelines and download the application for the Commonwealth History Fund at VirginiaHistory.org/HistoryFund.
