Since 1999, Save America's Treasures grants have
been used to save hundreds of collections and historic structures of national
importance. Administered by the National Park Service in partnership with
the IMLS, NEH, and NEA, Save America's
Treasures offers a very focused opportunity to obtain
conservation treatment for important artifacts, collections, documents,
monuments and works of art. National significance is a threshold
criterion.
FUNDING
MAY PROVIDE: Conservation treatment for collections of national significance that
are in urgent need of treatment. The project must show a clear public benefit.
GRANT
AMOUNT:
Organizations may apply for grants of $25,000 to $700,000. A 1:1
non-Federal match is required. Generally, awards for collections
projects tend to be smaller than those for historic structures, falling
into the $25,000 to $350,000 range.
DEADLINE: May 22, 2009
ELIGIBLE
ORGANIZATIONS: Nonprofit organizations, units of state or local
government, many federal agencies, and Indian tribes.
