Section 17.23. General conditions for Special Project Support Grants

There are a number of general conditions for Special Project Support Grants, in addition to those listed under terms and conditions of the grant.

(1) An applicant for a Special Project Support Grant is limited to one application per museum except for collaborative grants. The museum may also submit different project grant applications for Technical Assistance Grants or Local History Grants, or both. To maximize the impact on the museum community of the Historical and Museum Commission grant program, if an institution receives a Special Project Support Grant it will not be considered for a Technical Assistance Grant.

(2) Matching requirements are as follows:

(i) Special Project Support Grants will be awarded on a 50/50 matching basis.

(ii) Cash matches are encouraged, although in-kind contributions may be used as a portion of the matching requirement.

(3) Grant awards will not exceed $30,000 or, in the case where the institution’s budget is less than $300,000, 10% of that budget.

(4) The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Historical and Museum Commission will not fund the same grant request.
