SUMMARY
The Ocean County Board of Commissioners is soliciting applications for the 2026 Cultural and Heritage NJ Matching Art or History Grant Program. This initiative provides direct financial support to qualifying Ocean County nonprofit arts, history, and cultural organizations that have already secured competitive funding from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts (NJSCA) or the New Jersey Historical Commission (NJHC). The program targets 'flagship' organizations to fill funding gaps caused by state regulations prohibiting simultaneous local and state funding. Applications must be submitted by September 10, 2026, to the submission location in Toms River, NJ. A Notice of Interest is due by August 19, 2026.
