The Save America's Treasures (SAT) grants help preserve important historic properties and collections across the U.S. These grants are competitive and require you to match the funds you receive with your own money or resources. The program is run by the National Park Service with help from other cultural agencies. There are separate grants for preserving buildings and for conserving collections.
Who it's for: This grant is for a wide range of organizations, including private and public colleges, county and city governments, state governments, nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), and Native American tribal organizations. If you manage a historically significant site or collection, you might qualify.
