1. DEADLINE APPROACHING FOR PRESERVING OREGON GRANTS
 
The deadline is approaching for Preserving Oregon Grant applications.
These matching grants enable rehabilitation and preservation of
resources listed in the National Register of Historic Places or
identification, preservation and / or interpretation of significant
archaeological sites. 
 
Successful applications will convey completion of work using
appropriate preservation practices featuring the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation of Historic Properties, State
Historic Preservation Office regulations for archaeological work, etc.
Bids and estimates will strengthen applications. The grantee must match
funds 1:1. Local financial support allows the program to assist more
projects and fosters local support for preservation. Match can include
cash, in-kind donations, and volunteer time. 
 
SHPO must receive proposals no later than Sept. 30 and will notify
successful applicants by Nov. 1. The deadline for project completion,
reporting and billing is Nov. 1, 2012. For complete information and
applications about the above grant programs, visit
www.oregonheritage.org and click on “grants”. For additional
information and questions, contact Kuri Gill at 503-986-0685 or
kuri.gill at state.or.us.
 

2. OREGON HUMANITIES LETTERS OF INTEREST DEADLINE SET
 
Last year, Oregon Humanities Public Program Grants funded many
conversations including that of three generations of women to talk
about
a century of voting. Public Program Grants also supported community
arts and culture festivals, lecture series, and guided walking tours in
rural
Oregon.  Oregon Humanities is currently reviewing letters of interest
for Public Program Grants that use the humanities to connect Oregonians
to ideas that change lives, transform communities, bring together
diverse groups of Oregonians and that reflect collaboration between
organizations within a community. Oregon Humanities will accept letters
of interest postmarked no later than Oct. 31 for programs beginning
after April 1, 2012. For guidelines and other information, visit
www.oregonhumanaties.org. 
 
 
3. HISTORIC BARN SURVEY PARTICIPATION REQUESTED
 
There is growing concern about the future of historic barns, farmsteads
and outbuildings - all part of our rich agricultural heritage. The
Historic Preservation League of Oregon recently placed two barns and
one farmstead on their “2011 Most Endangered Places” list. In an effort
to evaluate and address the needs of our rural architecture, a
collaborative OregonBARN initiative is seeking input from farmers,
preservationists and barn fans. Please take a few minutes to complete
an Oregon Heritage Barn Survey at www.surveymonkey.com/s/R2YGFS8 .
 

4. INFO REQUEST FROM NATIONAL MAIN STREET CENTER
Hi Main Streeters!
Do you have package deals that bundle promotions from various
businesses – for example, for one price guests at a Main Street B&B get
prix fixe dinner at a local restaurant or a hotel guest gets some
downtown dollars upon check in?
And, which of you work out incentives with local business discounts/
promotions that coincide with your “downtown dollars” or downtown
certificate programs? 
Hope your summer festivals are going well!
