Historic Preservation Education Grants
Printable Version (PDF format)
Historic Preservation Education Grants are awarded to support educational programs related to historic properties in Indiana
The movement to preserve the built environment in the United States is an effort that depends upon both professionals in the field and dedicated volunteers. As new information about the techniques and principles of historic preservation becomes available, opportunities for citizens to share in this knowledge are vitally important. Learning about successful projects and national trends can also be helpful to preservation groups.
Eligible projects include lectures, workshops, conferences, the production of audiovisual materials, and heritage or cultural tourism programs. Educational print materials such as walking tour brochures, guides to historic homes, and curriculum units constitute eligible projects as well.
One-third of the grants will be reserved for qualified projects that are aimed at developing K-12 curriculum materials. Letters of support from schools or school districts must be included. Upon completion, the curriculum materials should be distributed by the sponsoring organization and may also be made available to teachers through programs of the granting agencies, such as the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana.
Grant projects must involve professionals or experts in the field of historic preservation as presenters or advisors.
Amount of Grant: Up to $2,000
