June 25, 2020 by Editorial Staff Leave a Comment

Pomeroy Fund R2 GraphicThe Pomeroy Fund for NYS History has awarded an additional $50,000 in grants to provide general operating assistance to 18 history-related organizations in New York State.

This is the second round of funding disbursed through the Pomeroy Fund since it was established in April through a partnership between the William G.
