Save America's Treasures grants

1999 Save America's Treasures Grants Announced

In a White House ceremony May 19, the First Lady announced grants
totaling $30,000,000 to preserve sixty-two "nationally significant
intellectual and cultural artifacts, and historic structures and
sites."   Grantees are located in twenty-four states, the District
of Columbia and the Midway Islands.  All grants must be matched 1-1
with non-federal funds. These grants came from the funds
appropriated to the National Park Service for this year; an
additional $30,000,000 has been requested by the President in his
budget request for FY2000.  The list of the 1999 grant recipients
that was provided by the White House can be found on the web site of
