Save America's Treasures grants

Save America's Treasures

The National Park Service has posted guidelines for the FY 2003 Save
America's Treasures grant competition at
<URL:http://www2.cr.nps.gov/treasures/index.htm>.

Save America's Treasures grants are available for preservation
and/or conservation work on nationally significant intellectual and
cultural artifacts. Applications are evaluated and administered by
the National Park Service in partnership with the National Endowment
for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the
Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the President's
Committee on the Arts and the Humanities.

The receipt deadline is March 20, 2003, for projects to begin no
earlier than September 2003.  Treasures grants range from $50,000 to
$1,000,000 (though the average actual award has been considerably
less) and require a one-for-one cost share on the part of the
institution.

Detailed information about eligibility, review criteria, and
previous years' awards, as well as complete contact information, is
available on the web site.
