Keweenaw Heritage Grants
(Calumet, MI) The Keweenaw National Historical Park Advisory Commission and the National Park Service announce the 2013 Keweenaw Heritage Grants program. For the 2013 grant program, the proposed project or program must be located within the boundaries Keweenaw NHP; affiliated with an existing Keweenaw Heritage Site; or located at the Cliff Mine, along Torch Lake, or within the community of Painesdale.
The Keweenaw NHP Advisory Commission will once again be offering $100,000 in grants for the 2013 grants program. Advisory Commission grants will be subject to a 1-to-1 match, although up to 100% of the match may be in-kind.
The NPS will be offering up to $50,000 in grants for the 2013 program. NPS grants require that property owners within park boundaries be able to provide a cash match in accordance with the park’s legislation, which is currently $1 of non-Federal funds for every $1 of Federal funds. NPS professional staff will continue to provide technical assistance to grant applicants, advising on a variety of issues related to planning a successful project.
Grants will range between $1,000 and $50,000. Organizations that operate Keweenaw Heritage Sites will receive greater consideration for the grants, although all applications will be considered. Projects will be selected for funding based on answers submitted in the application, available funds, and a balance of project types and location.
Grant applications are available at park headquarters or on the park’s website, www.nps.gov/kewe. Grant applications will be due by the close of business (5:00 PM) on Friday, March 29. Applications will be reviewed by a panel of Advisory Commission members and NPS staff. Grant awards will be announced by May 1. Advisory Commission grant funds will typically be available to successful grantees by June 1, 2013. NPS grants are awarded on a reimbursable basis.
Potential grant applicants are strongly encouraged to avail themselves of professional advice and assistance with planning efforts. For additional information, please call park headquarters at 906-337-3168 or email to: KEWE_Grants@nps.gov.
