COVID-19 RESPONSE GRANTS IMPACT
As the COVID-19 pandemic spread, our role in supporting the cultural infrastructure of New Jersey remained the same. However, the way we support and act as a resource for our public humanities program partners shifted. CARES Act funding, allocated through the NEH, allowed NJCH to build a brand new COVID-19 Response Grant program. This emergency funding was made available in two categories for New Jersey humanities organizations that experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19.
