GRANTSSilos & Smokestacks National Heritage Area is proud to offer three grant programs. The first program has been in place for several years, and SSNHA has awarded over $1 million through this tool to tell the story of American agriculture. The other two programs were established through money raised from the SSNHA 10-Year Designation Celebration to create an Education Scholarship Fund. This money will be used to fund field study transportation costs and an internship program. General Grant ProgramApplications for grants through the Silos & Smokestacks grant program are due June 2, 2008. Eligible grant projects must be located in one of the 37 counties within the Heritage Area and provide a 1-1 match to the grant request. There is $65,000 available for projects including exhibit development, educational programs, interpretation, marketing, signs and event programming. Grant awards may range from $1,000 to $10,000. Eligible applicants are non-profit organizations, local or regional governments, or federally recognized Indian tribes located within the Heritage Area.
Internship Grant ProgramApplications for the Internship Grant Program are due postmarked February 1, 2008. This program is open to Designated Partner Sites only. The purpose of this internship program is to extend a student's education beyond the classroom and to provide opportunities to network with various businesses, museums, and other service organizations within SSNHA.
Bus GrantApplications for the 2008-2009 Bus Grant Program will be accepted starting August 1, 2008. Grants will be awarded until Dec. 1, 2008 or until funds are depleted. This program is open to schools within SSNHA. This is a grant initiative designed to help schools in the heritage area fund the transportation costs associated with field study trips to designated SSNHA partner sites.
