The National Park Service, in partnership with the President’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute for Museum and Library Services, is seeking applicants for its Save America’s Treasures 2004 program. Applications must be received by 5 p.m. EDT May 19, 2004. Save America’s Treasures makes critical investments in the preservation of our nation’s most significant cultural treasures. Grants are awarded for preservation and/or conservation work on nationally significant intellectual and cultural artifacts and nationally significant historic structures and sites. Applicants can request funds from $50,000 to $1 million to conserve collections, and from $250,000 to $1 million for historic property and sites projects. Save America's Treasures grants require a dollar-for-dollar match from non-federal sources.
