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 organizations, 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
elementary, 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.
