This presentation will provide an overview of historical and cultural grants available from the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) and describe the speaker's experience of successfully applying for a grant, conducting a grant project, and completing the final project report. MNHS administers a number of grants that are made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations, state and local government units, federally-recognized tribes, and educational institutions may apply for funding to carry out a well-defined project intended to preserve and improve access to Minnesota cultural and historical resources. Grant options include oral history projects, interpretive programs and public education (including developing exhibitions and new websites), publications (including adding content to existing websites), collections care and management, digital conversion and reproduction, developing a disaster plan, and many more.
