Religious institutions – eligible activities include Historic Structure Reports, Preservation Plans, and Assessment Reports; and the preparation of construction documents and completion of construction activities for the exterior building elements, and the building’s structural and MEP systems (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) In 2018, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled it was a violation of the New Jersey Constitution for Morris County to issue taxpayer-funded grants to religious institutions.
In November 2024, a federal court judge issued a preliminary ruling that the exclusion of religious institutions violates the United States Constitution. This lawsuit was completed successfully, and religious institutions may continue to apply for historic preservation grants in the 2026 funding round. Eligible applicants to the HP program are municipalities, the county, and Charitable Conservancy.
To qualify as an eligible applicant for the HP program, religious institutions must meet the definition of a Charitable Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) entity whose purposes include the historic preservation of historic properties ( Morris County Preservation Trust Fund Rules , Section 2 Definitions – Charitable Conservancy).
Charitable conservancies whose purposes do not currently include historic preservation can qualify by amending their IRS mission statement / purpose / bylaws to include historic preservation of their historic properties.
