History Channel Announces Guidelines for Save Our History Grant Program
Deadline: June 6, 2008

An initiative of the History Channel ( http://www.history.com/ ), the Save 
Our History Program invites history organizations to partner with a local 
school or youth group and apply for funding to help preserve the history of 
their communities. Each year, the History Channel awards grants to 
organizations across the country that partner with schools or youth groups 
on community- preservation projects that engage students in learning about, 
documenting, and preserving local history.

Eligible applicants are nonprofit 501(c)(3) history organizations such as 
museums, historical societies, preservation organiza- tions, historic 
sites, libraries, archives, or other history organizations that are located 
in one of the fifty states or the District of Columbia. Other eligible 
applicants include local government agencies such as parks and recreation 
commissions, historic commissions, departments of local history, or other 
local government agencies that own and/or operate a historic site or 
property. Eligible applicants must partner with a local ele- mentary, 
middle, or high school, or an organization that provides educational 
programming for children of similar ages. Applicants may partner with 
multiple schools or educational organizations.

The History Channel will award a total of $100,000 in grants of up to 
$10,000 each in 2008.

All applications must be completed and submitted online. Visit the 
program's Web site for complete program information and application
