The California Natural Resources Agency is pleased to release for public comment its Draft Guidelines for the California Museum Grant Program.
The Museum Grant Program intends to solicit project proposals that assist the California Cultural and Historical Endowment (CCHE) in supporting and enhancing museums that are deeply rooted in, and reflective of, previously underserved communities.
This competitive grant program, funded by a $50 Million State General Fund appropriation, will give priority consideration to projects in museums:
- severely affected by COVID-19; and
- that serve underserved communities or students subject to Title 1 of the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
The public comment period begins October 12, 2021, and ends on November 12, 2021.
