Deadline: 31 December 2019
The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has announced its Historic Preservation Grant to provide financial assistance for projects that preserve historic resources, sites and other history-related projects.
Funding Information
The maximum grant is $10,000, and smaller projects are encouraged.
Eligible Project
Projects considered for grants must support the DAR mission area of historic preservation, and successful applicants must agree to publicly recognize DAR’s contribution. In order to benefit posterity, secure recognition for DAR and produce lasting value from the grants, please note these important guiding principles:
- Projects related to all chapters of American history will be considered; however, preference will be given to those projects that relate to the Colonial-through-the-Federal periods.
- In order to assure ultimate completion of the project, all other funding (beyond that requested via this grant) must be already firmly secured. Projects should be tangible and long-lived, with lasting historic preservation benefit. Therefore, ineligible requests include administrative or operating expenses (e.g. rent, salaries, benefits, utilities, printing); surveys; permits; travel (e.g. mileage, lodging, meals, site rental); food/beverage; vehicles; fundraising; conferences; reenactments, performances; trips, camps, workshops; and political activities.
- Recipients awarded a DAR Historic Preservation Grant during one administration must wait until the next DAR administration before applying for an additional grant for another project or a different phase of the same project.
- DAR Chapters and State Societies are eligible to apply for grants associated with properties/sites that are owned or operated by the DAR entity and included in the NSDAR Historic Sites database; no more than 20 percent of grants will be awarded to DAR Chapters or State Societies in a given cycle.
Eligibility Criteria
501(c)(3) public charities may apply for this grant.
