Qualification Guidelines

Qualification Application

PLEASE NOTE: The qualification application is now an online form with required attachments. Paper qualification applications will no longer be accepted.

You will not be able to save the online qualification application and return to it later. Please only begin the application once you have assembled all of your application materials, including the Qualification Application Certification Form (page 6 of the Qualification Guidelines PDF) with your authorizing board member’s signature. A checklist of the contents of the application form and the required attachments is included in the Qualification Guidelines PDF. Review the requirements carefully and ensure that you have compiled all required materials before beginning the online application.

Qualification applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Complete applications received by the Trust will be reviewed at the next scheduled Cultural Trust Board meeting.

To be eligible for the upcoming FY26 IFS History/Humanities grant round, organizations must separately apply to become qualified by the New Jersey Cultural Trust no later than June 11, 2025, at 3 p.m.
