Grant Project Title Consider a title that describes your project. Examples: Anytown Veterans Oral History Project, Anycounty Historical Society Collections Re-Housing Project, Jones House Rehabilitation Project.
Funding Category Check only one funding category. Funding categories are Organizational Development, Programs & Collections, and Bricks & Mortar. See the Guidelines for descriptions of funding categories.
Project Budget Summary Indicate your 1) requested grant amount, 2) match, and 3) total project cost. Match amounts must, at a minimum, equal the amounts stipulated in the Guidelines. Grant applications that do not meet match minimums are not eligible for consideration and will not be reviewed.
Project Start & End Dates If exact start and end dates for your project are known, enter them. If exact start and end dates are not known, enter the first of the month for the month in which the project will start and the first of the month for the month the project will end (for example, May 1, 2013). All projects should assume a start date after April 1, 2013.
The maximum duration of History Fund grants are as follows:
- Organizational Development grants: up to 12 months
- Programs & Collections grants: up to 24 months
- Bricks & Mortar grants: up to 24 months
Grant awards will be announced in February. Grant projects, however, may start no sooner then April. The time between the award announcement and the official start of the grant period gives recipients time to prepare and execute the project agreement and to notify the History Fund of the exact date the project will commence.
All grant funds and match are to be spent during the grant period. No grant funds or match may be spent prior to or after the end of the grant period.
