CHANGES TO THE HERITAGE REVITALIZATION FUND
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 1, 2011!


The Heritage Revitalization Fund (HRF) remains the mainstay of funding for Connecticut’s cultural community. The HRF combines three former CHC granting programs - the Cultural Heritage Development Fund, Humanities in the Schools and Heritage Advancement – under a common application with several deadlines. The goal of the HRF is to build vital heritage organizations that bring history to a broad public. Funding allows organizations to transform, reinvent or renew their operations or programs; stabilize their infrastructures; position themselves for the future; and develop more financially sustainable practices. The Fund offers program/initiative support through an entire lifecycle: preparatory research and early thinking, careful planning and final execution. The HRF features broad and flexible funding parameters which, above all, can create successful initiatives that effectively serve their varied audiences.

Please note:

    • The ceiling for discretionary grants is $7,000 starting
      September 1, 2011;
    • Although we have temporarily suspended our requirement that a portion of the matching funds for implementation grants must come from external (3rd party) cash, preference will be given to grants showing some cash match..

Deadlines:

    • Major Grants: (Proposals seeking more than $10,000) the first business day of February, May, August and November.
    • Discretionary Grants: (Proposals seeking up to $7,000) the first business day of March, April, June, July, September, October and December.
