2009-2011 Grant Cycle

The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office has earmarked $250,000 of
Lottery Funds for its Preserving Oregon Grant Program for the 2009-11
Biennium. 

These funds are to be used for:
· rehabilitation work on properties listed in the National Register of
Historic Places, or
· significant work contributing to identifying, preserving and/or
interpreting archaeological sites.

DEADLINE: Emailed and postmarked no later than October 16, 2009.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION: Grant funds may be awarded for amounts up to
$20,000.

MATCH: Grants must be matched 1:1 by the grantee. Local financial

donations, and volunteer time.

when applicable.

PRESERVATION REQUIREMENTS: The application must convey that all work

binding agreements
between the State and the applicants. Typically, grant funds are
dispersed on a reimbursable basis. If you are awarded a grant, details
of payment arrangements and grant reporting will be provided at that
time.

archaeologist,
