Hi Kathleen, In addition to Dave’s excellent suggestion of the IMLS Inspire! Grants (https://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/preservation-assistance-grants-smaller-institutions), NEH offers Preservation Assistance Grants for Smaller Institutions (https://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/preservation-assistance-grants-smaller-institutions), which can be used for disaster plan development. It’s great that you’re working toward an emergency plan!

If the grant is budgeted under $25,000 there is no match requirement. The IMLS staff is very helpful. Give them a call and they can advise you on the grant category and information on the process. They also make available model grants from previous grantees so you can see how successful grants were written. https://www.imls.gov/ Cheers!
