Grants for Women's History Local Projects for the 2007-09 Biennium
The Women's History Consortium, part of the Washington State Historical Society, announces the availability of grants for Women's History Local Projects for the 2007-09 Biennium.
The grants will be awarded to non-profit heritage organizations, tribal governments and local government agencies located and conducting activities within the State of Washington for programs and projects which interpret and preserve Washington women's history in one of six theme areas.
The maximum award will be $5000.00 and does not require a match, although extra points will be awarded to projects which use these funds to leverage other public or private funds. Selection of projects will be made by a sub-committee of the Women's History Consortium Advisory Board. Deadline for project proposals is October 31, 2007. Projects must be completed by June 30, 2009 and create web-ready products available to the Women's History Consortium for its website.
The Application Form is available here on the Women's History Consortium website. You may also obtain it by e-mailing Shanna Stevenson, WHC Coordinator, or calling 360-586-0171.
