Heritage Grants
Heritage
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.
Any
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.
