*Please note, contrary to the webinar information, indirect costs are now considered eligible expenses. If your organization has an approved federal indirect rate you may include this in your grant application, otherwise the 10% de minimus rate applies.
Historical societies, museums, and youth education groups within the Heritage Area
are eligible to apply for $3,000 annual programmatic funding under a three-year agreement.
To apply, complete the community grant application below & check the box specifying a programmatic grant application.
Once awarded, the three-year agreement is dependent on the grantee’s timely submission
of completed annual reports and informal check-ins throughout the year.
An award letter approving renewal of annual funds will be issued each year.
Annual renewal of the grant is subject to availability of National Park Service funding.
