Subject: Save America's Treasures Applications
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 17, 2000
**As a service to our constituents, IMLS is providing the
following
announcement about Save America's Treasures and access to
the grant
application.
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
SAVE AMERICA'S TREASURES
APPLICATION AND GUIDELINES AVAILABLE FOR
FY 2000 HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND GRANTS
The National Park Service, Department of the Interior, is
pleased to
announce that the application and guidelines for the Save
America's
Treasures Fiscal Year 2000 Historic Preservation Fund Grants
are available.
Grants are available for preservation and/or conservation
work on nationally
significant intellectual and cultural artifacts and
nationally significant
historic structures and sites. A total of $15 million will
be awarded.
In 1999, Congress approved President Clinton's request for
funding to Save
America's Treasures, providing $30 million in Federal grants
to address the
urgent preservation needs of the nation's most significant
historic sites
and collections. As a result of this appropriation, twelve
Federal agencies
received awards for 62 projects in 24 states, the District
of Columbia and
the Midway Islands. Building upon the success of this grant
program,
Congress approved an additional $30 million to Save
America's Treasures as
part of the Fiscal Year 2000 budget.
This year's appropriation has earmarked $15 million for
select preservation
projects nationwide, with the remaining $15 million
available in federal
grants to protect America's threatened cultural treasures,
including
significant documents, works of art, buildings, objects, and
collections.
All applications must be postmarked by March 31, 2000.
Award recipients are
scheduled to be announced in June. Given the increased
awareness of the Save
America's Treasures program, it is anticipated that the
number of
applications submitted will increase dramatically from last
year, making the
distribution of the $15 million a highly competitive
process.
