The Documentary Heritage Program (DHP) is a statewide program established by law to provide financial support and guidance to not-for-profit organizations that hold, collect and make available New York's historical records. Funding is available to support projects that relate to groups and topics traditionally under-represented in New York's historical record. The New York State Education Department's (NYSED) 2014-2015 appropriation for DHP includes $92,000 for DHP Grants. DHP Grant Project Types are Documentation and Arrangement & Description. DHP is administered by the New York State Archives, a unit of the New York State Education Department. Postmark deadline is Monday, March 3, 2014 for projects to be carried out from July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015. 

New York State has implemented a new statewide prequalification requirement for not-for-profits applying for grants. In order to be eligible to apply, all grant applicants (including DHP grant applicants) are required to prequalify using the New York State Grants Gateway. The prequalification registration process requests information about an organization's capacity, legal compliance, and integrity. This process may take up to a few weeks to complete, so it is advisable to begin the prequalification registration process immediately if you are considering applying for a 2014-2015 DHP Grant.
