GRANT
PROGRAMS
One of the greatest things about Hudson County is the diversity of its population, which means that we have a rich variety of groups dedicated to the many facets of the performing and visual arts, local history, and to serving the needs of children and the most vulnerable among us. So to best serve our constituency, the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development (HCOCHA/TD) offers grant programs to non-profit organizations that help make them stronger and to allow them to offer high-quality programming to our residents.
