The New Jersey Historical Commission board has approved $5.2 million in Fiscal Year 2026 (FY 26) grant funding benefitting 93 historical organizations, museums, historic sites, archives, libraries, individuals, and county re-grant agencies across the state.
The $5.2 million in FY 26 funding will support the New Jersey Historical Commission’s General Operating Support (GOS) program, which covers an array of operational expenses for qualified history organizations; Projects and Co-Sponsored Projects, which includes New Jersey-based historical research, exhibits, programs, and archival work; and the County History Partnership Program (CHPP), which provides all 21 counties with funding for local history groups statewide.
The funding for FY 26 takes on even greater importance as the state’s history community plans and prepares programming for the upcoming America 250th commemoration in 2026.
“From promoting civic engagement, expanding economic vitality, and broadening the knowledge of the state’s exceptional cultural resources, this funding strengthens that commitment by providing critical support to advance awareness of New Jersey’s past,” noted Lt. Governor Tahesha Way, who oversees the NJHC in her role as Secretary of State. “The result will be a strong, inclusive, and proactive history community ready to maximize its programmatic impacts for the 250th in 2026.”

As older adults are increasingly choosing to age in place, cross-cutting issues are coming to the forefront – the quality of care received by disabled or chronically ill older adults in their own homes, and the quality of the jobs of the caregivers who provide this care.
In-home care is often provided by direct care workers – an over-arching term that captures a number of different occupations, but in general refers to caregivers who provide essential assistance with everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, and eating. Direct care workers play a huge role in maintaining the health and general well-being of their clients. And, due to the oncoming “silver tsunami” of older adults, direct care jobs are some of the fastest growing occupations in the entire economy.
Despite the size of the workforce and the important services that direct care workers provide, the workforce is faced with a number of challenges. These include extremely low pay, irregular hours, inadequate training, and high rates of employee turnover. There is a clear need for better employment practices and policy changes to improve the quality of direct care jobs, by raising pay and benefits, standardizing and increasing employee training, and creating career pathways that lead to higher paying jobs. These efforts, in turn, will help improve the quality of the care that older adults receive.
In this edition of What Funders Need to Know, Washington Regional Association of Grantmakers take a look at the state of the local direct care workforce today and the connections between quality jobs and quality care, and discuss five ways that funders can get involved.
