Program: Common Heritage Grants

 Arts, Culture and Humanities including Library, Museum and Historical Society Grants
 
Geographic Area
: National

 

Eligibility: historical societies, libraries, archives, museums, colleges and other local institutions

 

Maximum Grant Amount: $12,000.00  

 
Deadline: June 25, 2015
 
Description:
 The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is accepting applications to a new grant program, called "Common Heritage," that will bring to light historical records and artifacts currently hidden in family attics and basements across the country and make them digitally available to the wider public and for posterity.
 
Grants will support day-long events, organized by community cultural institutions, in which members of the public will be invited to share materials important to their family or community histories, such as photographs, artifacts, family letters, and works of art.

These items will be digitized, along with descriptive information and context provided by the community attendees. With the owner's permission, the digitized materials will be made publicly available through the institution's online collections. Contributors will receive a free digital copy of their items to take home, along with the original materials.

Grants will also be used for public programming - including lectures, exhibits, discussion programs, and film screenings - that celebrates and expands knowledge of the community's past and the diverse histories of its members.

Pathway to Financial Success, a charitable program administered by Discover Financial Services, aims to arm parents and children with the skills they need to succeed, preparing them for a brighter, more responsible financial future.

To be eligible, applications must be submitted by a public high school planning to implement a financial education curriculum; that have a measurement tool to assess participation in and comprehension of the financial education curriculum; and that agree to share the results of the tool's pre- and post-curriculum testing with Discover upon programs completion.
