This grant round covers the following New York State counties: Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens and Richmond (Region 1); Nassau and Suffolk (Region 2); and Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester (Region 3).

The NYS Historic Marker Grant Program is open to 501(c)(3) organizations, nonprofit academic institutions, and local, state and federal government entities within New York State.

Those interested in applying for a marker grant must submit an online Letter of Intent to verify primary sources by Monday, June 7th, 2021.
