Heritage Grants

Heritage Grant WorkHeritage Grants are intended to encourage the preservation and study of local and regional cultural resources and to assist cultural agencies to develop stronger practices in maintaining and managing local heritage resources. They are awards of up to $3,500 and support oral history projects, care of collections and photographs, basic research, cataloging and indexing, language preservation, and best practices. The "before" photograph (above) and the "after" photograph (below) show what can be done through a Heritage Grant.

Heritage Grant WorkAny not-for-profit organization in Kansas can apply for a Heritage Program grant, except colleges and universities. You do not need to be incorporated or have 501 (c) (3) status. Successful proposals will include the use of a project consultant, a timeline for the project’s completion, a detailed budget with cost share, and a plan for sharing the project’s results with the general public.

Past Heritage Grant recipients have included historical societies, museums, libraries, churches, farm organizations, service clubs, tribal organizations, ethnic associations, arts groups, senior centers, city governments, and community education groups.
