Nonprofit and governmental organizations in New Jersey may apply for a $500 award to support work to commemorate and interrogate the passage of the 19th Amendment granting women’s suffrage in 1920 and its legacy one hundred years later.

Examples of work that can be supported with this funding:

  • Public events that do not involve gatherings in person, such as webinars or public events taking place on digital platforms like Zoom, Facebook Live, or other streaming platforms.
  • Web-based exhibitions or recorded programs.
  • Exhibitions, physical or digital.
  • Reading and discussion programs (including purchase of books or development of guides).
  • Oral histories, video oral histories, or other public history methodologies.
  • Materials that encourage ongoing engagement with this topic, such as books, material culture, periodicals, etc. (Organizations such as libraries may want to expand their collections of books related to the history of the 19th amendment, women in public life, or civic engagement more broadly, for example).

Please note: due to ongoing and constantly evolving coronavirus restrictions, NJCH is unable to support in-person programs that involve gatherings of people.

Any materials purchased with this funding or any programs that take place with the help of this funding must be public-facing or contain a significant public component. All work must be related to the 19th amendment, its history, and its legacy. You will have the opportunity to explain how your work will relate to this topic in the application.
