Details:
Indiana Humanities and Indiana Landmarks believe that it’s important for Hoosiers to understand and appreciate the historic structures that surround them. Deeper knowledge of their landmarks helps connect them to their past and provides them with a stronger sense of place. When they know more about their landmarks, they’re more likely to value and protect them—which in turn revitalizes the communities and adds richness to their lives.
To help promote knowledge of their state’s historic places and the many benefits of preservation, Indiana Humanities and Indiana Landmarks have joined together to offer Historic Preservation Education Grants to Indiana-based tax-exempt organizations.
What Indiana Humanities Support
As its name suggests, the Historic Preservation Education Grant funds programs that educate Indiana citizens about the historic places and properties in their communities— and particularly about the need to preserve and protect them. Programs may come in a variety of formats—workshops, presentations, booklets, brochures, reading/discussion programs, exhibitions, film documentaries and more—and they’re increasingly interested in supporting digital projects, such as online exhibits, webinars and podcasts, that expand the program’s reach and educate even more people about the value of historic preservation.
