The Connecticut Heritage Revitalization Fund (CHRF) strengthens the
CHC’s traditional concern with effective public programming by assisting Connecticut’s
heritage organizations to better understand and serve their audiences.
In addition, the program emphasizes institutional reassessment
and advancement to meet the challenges of a changing environment.
We seek to provide the state’s heritage organizations with the capacity to step back from accustomed ways of fulfilling their mission and review “best thinking” and practices in the museum field. The CHRF encourages institutions to reexamine their connections with their audiences, their internal operations, business plans and the effectiveness of their public programming.
Our primary goal is to assist the heritage community in translating those reassessments into a revitalized programming agenda that will enlarge and engage their audiences, bring Connecticut’s rich history to a broader public and create a foundation for organizational stability and sustainable growth.
The CHRF combines three former CHC granting programs—the Cultural Heritage Development Fund, Humanities in the Schools and Heritage Advancement Program—under a common monthly and quarterly application deadline. In general, major project categories eligible under these discontinued grant lines are now eligible for funding under the CHRF.
Application Deadlines:
- Proposals seeking more than $10,000: February 1, May 1, August 1, November 1
- Proposals seeking up to $10,000: The first business day of every month
