[SOA] Help Spread the Word: Ohio has a new funding tool for history projects!

[Angela O'Neal]

Ohioans have a new and important way to demonstrate their support for
history and archives in Ohio! For the first time, taxpayers will be able
to donate a portion of their state income tax refund to the Ohio
Historical Society. The Society will use the funds to create a new grant
program to support history-related projects throughout Ohio. From the
fund, matching grants will be awarded for projects including exhibits
and public programs, repair and rehabilitation of historic properties,
care for historic objects and archival collections, education
initiatives and much more, in communities across the state. The new
grant program will be open to the hundreds of history-related
organizations, academic institutions and local governments looking for
support of their local history-related initiatives.

You can help get the word out about the new tax refund option on the
2011 Ohio individual income tax form where those receiving a refund can
designate an amount for donation. Please share this message with your
colleagues, membership or other constituents, via e-mail and include in
your upcoming newsletters through March.

Now an Ohio tax refund can MAKE HISTORY! when a portion is donated to
the Ohio Historical Society for the new History Grants Fund. Questions?
Give us a call at 800-686-6124.
