- Memorials will not be considered.
- The program is competitive and will be judged on the relative significance of the property, the degree of financial need and the assurance that the project can be completed within a two (2) year period after receiving grant approval.
Grant Applications open the end of August, the deadline for submission is October 15th and Grant Awards are announced early December.
