Telling the Full Story Preservation Fund
This program will provide financial support to eligible organizations to preserve and interpret historic places across the nation that illuminate narratives of underrepresented groups of people. Underrepresented groups include, but are not limited to, women, immigrants, Asian Americans, Black Americans, Latinx Americans, Native Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and LGBTQ communities.
Importantly, applicants must demonstrate that their organization or agency has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Information on these adverse impacts will be collected through the application process. Adverse impacts can include impacts on revenue, spending, staffing, visitation, and other key metrics that demonstrate a need for support through this grant fund.
This is a place-based grant program. If the applicant does not own the historic place that is the focus of the grant-funded project, then the applicant must have a letter of consent from the property owner stating that the grantee has permission to undertake the grant-funded project.
Application Instructions
Please submit:
- a one-page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach
