Here are two different grants that may provide an opportunity for your community to preserve its cultural heritage.

American Heritage Preservation Grants provide up to $3000 in assistance to preserve specific items, including works of art, artifacts and historical documents that are in need of conservation.

Preserve America Community Designation & Grants. Community leaders are encouraged to apply for the Preserve America community designation, which recognizes a community's efforts to carefor and share its cultural and natural heritage. The designation also makes the community eligible for special federal funding. Preserve America is a White House initiative conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and other federal agencies.
