An electronic grant application process is in place to transmit applications via the Internet to the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission where the application will be reviewed and processed electronically into the Commission's grants database. Additional copies of the completed application and attachments must be submitted by mail or delivery to the PHMC. The eGrant(sm) application for each grant category will be available 2 months before the application submission deadline.
To view a short tutorial of the eGrant system, please download the pdf version (464 Kb) eGrant Instruction Presentation offered at PHMC Grant Workshops. The tutorial does not include notes but is a series of screen shots of the eGrant application system with some helpful hints.
All applications must be submitted via the eGrant (sm) process.
