The Historic Chattahoochee Commission (HCC) has announced the continuation of its Matching Grant Program. Over the last twenty-three years, the HCC has distributed over $136,202 in matching monies to 64 different groups in its eighteen county bi-state region. Grants are provided on a 50/50 reimbursable basis with the goal of developing the Chattahoochee Trace’s full potential for historic preservation and tourism. This program will provide financial assistance to any qualifying non-profit organization or agency headquartered within the Chattahoochee Trace region promoted by the HCC. In addition, the project for which funding is requested must contribute to the promotion of tourism, history and/or historic preservation. All projects funded under this program must be innovative in scope and application. Projects that are a continuation of on-going programs will not be eligible for consideration.
The Commission has set aside $10,000 during FY 2009-2010 to assist in the funding and development of various projects in the Chattahoochee Trace area of Alabama and Georgia. Previous grants have been awarded in the $500 to $3,500 range. All projects must begin after October 1, 2009 and be completed by August 2, 2010. Applications must be submitted on an official form provided by the HCC. Qualifying organizations should submit funding requests no later than 4:00 PM (CDT) on August 3, 2009 to: Chairman, HCC Matching Grants Committee, P. O. Box 33, Eufaula, Alabama 36072-0033.
