ABOUT LAP:

In partnership with the New Jersey Department of State - State Council on the Arts (NJSCA), the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development (HCOCHA/TD) is proud to offer the Hudson County Local Arts Program (LAP).  LAP offers matching grants to non-profit organizations located in, and serving the residents of, Hudson County. These grants are administered through HCOCHA/TD, a unit of Hudson County government, by authority of Hudson County Executive Craig Guy and the Hudson County Board of County Commissioners.  LAP grants are funded by both NJSCA and Hudson County government.

Hudson County awards competitive matching grants to organizations, based on merit and financial need, which clearly demonstrate their commitment to the arts in the County by producing or sponsoring arts programs and services of high artistic quality and professionalism.  Applicant organizations are expected to be administered responsibly and to propose programs that can be completed within the grant period and within the projected budget.
