History Fund Grant Applications Due Sept. 4 (by 11:59 p.m.)

Hello Grant Seekers and History Fund Friends,

Just a a reminder! Ohio History Fund grant applications are due in a month, Sept. 4, 2019 (by 11:59 p.m.). To access the application and for more information about the program, visit ohiohistory.org/historyfund.

The Ohio History Fund is a competitive matching grants program for history projects. The program is supported by the funds Ohioans donate through the "Ohio History Fund" tax check-off on state income tax returns, the purchase of Ohio History "mastodon" license plates and donations to the Ohio History Connection designated to the Ohio History Fund.

These grants support all kinds of history projects including museum collection storage initiatives, educational programs, exhibit development, digitization of archival materials and historic photographs, repairs and rehabilitation for National Register-listed historic buildings, archaeological surveys, oral history and more.

Eligible applicants include local historical societies, museums, public libraries, genealogical societies, university archives and special collections, historic preservation groups, archaeological societies, county records management offices, “friends” groups and other non-profit and public entities.

Ineligible applicants include for-profit businesses, private individuals and the Ohio History Connection.

The Ohio History Fund application process is entirely online. No paper submissions of grant applications are accepted, although applications can be printed for reference.
