The launch of the 2009/2010 "Save Our History" Grant Cycle has been announced. The Save Our History Grant Program provides funding to history organizations that partner with schools on a local community preservation project.  Since launching the Save Our History Grant Program in 2004, History, formerly known as The History Channel, has awarded over $1 Million Dollars in grants to organizations and schools large and small, urban, suburban and rural, in the northern, southern, eastern, western and central United States.

During the 2009/2010 school year, History will again award grants of up to $10,000 to historical organizations to fund hands-on, experiential educational projects that teach students about their local history and actively engage them in its preservation.
