The Massachusetts Historical Commission announced that round 27 of the Massachusetts Preservation Projects Fund (MPPF) grant program has been scheduled. It is anticipated that funding will be in the range of the previous grant round, which was $800,000. Applications are due March 19, 2021.

Administered by the Massachusetts Historical Commission (MHC), the MPPF is a state-funded 50 percent matching grant reimbursement program established in 1984 to support the preservation of properties, landscapes and sites listed in the State Register of Historic Places. Applicants must be a municipality or nonprofit organization. Please note that grant disbursement is subject to reauthorization of the capital accounts and the availability of sufficient allocated funds.

Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, MHC will only be offering a virtual MPPF application presentation, which will be available on their website to download and view beginning January 15, 2021.
