Mini-Grants
Questions? Contact the Mini-Grants Chair.
We are proud to offer a mini-grant program to help members accomplish some great interpretive projects throughout the Heartland Region. On an annual basis, the mini-grant committee considers funding for interpretive projects and programs completed within the region. The fund, up to $500, may be used for things such as exhibit design and productions, workbooks, equipment, living history props, research, planning and educational materials. Projects are evaluated based on four different criteria areas: Preservation, Interpretive Value, Uniqueness, and Project Viability.
