Instructions and Requirements

The Society's Grants Office is transitioning to an entirely on-line grants system with Fiscal Year 2012. Applicants access the system through a new grants portal . Here applicants will be able to track where an application is in the review process as well as have access to information about previous grants you have received. The portal allows you to save your work on an application and come back to finish it later. The portal provides access to everything you'll need in administering a grant from the Minnesota Historical Society, from the pre-application stage through reporting on the completion of a project.

Instructions and Requirements for Pre-Applications and for Final Applications, and required application attachments, which are all located in the Minnesota Historical Society Grants Portal powered by Fluxx.
