About the Program

The Historical Museums Grants-in-Aid program provides matching support for the development of exhibits on Florida history, as well as for programming costs of Florida history museums, as authorized by Section 265.708, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 1T-1.031 & 1.032, Florida Administrative Code.

Funding is provided for two categories: general program support and public educational exhibit projects.

General Program Support grants underwrite the costs of technical, curatorial, administrative, and educational programming pertaining to programmatic operations of the museum and is available on a two-year cycle.

Public Educational Exhibit grants support the development and presentation of exhibitions on the history of the human occupation of Florida through the use of artifacts, graphics, audio visual elements, text panels and educational components. This grant is on an annual cycle.
