VANCOUVER – The Clark County Council is accepting applications from local organizations for grants that encourage historic preservation and programs, including preservation of historic documents.
The deadline for submitting completed applications is 5 p.m., Friday, Sept. 15.
To assist applicants, the county will hold a virtual informational meeting about the grants program and answer questions regarding 2024 applications on Tuesday, Sept. 5 at 10:30 a.m. via Webex. Additional meeting details and information on how to join remotely can be found on the county’s website at www.clark.wa.gov/community-planning/historical-promotion-grants-program. Applications, grant guidelines, and other information are available at the same web address or by emailing historicpreservation@clark.wa.gov.
The Historical Promotion Grants program is designed to increase awareness and education to better preserve, exhibit, and/or interpret local history and historic preservation.
Applicants must be either a nonprofit organization or public entity within the boundaries of Clark County that promotes our local history. Applicants also must either operate or own a museum or similar historical institution or perform educational, interpretive, or similar activities.
The Historic Preservation Commission will review applications in the fall and submit recommendations to the County Council in November. Grants will be awarded in December and grant funds will be available in January 2024.
