Two Grants Submitted

We have just finished work on two grants for the project. Wow, those are a lot of work! I took my laptop on vacation with me and spent most of the 26 hours worth of driving (during those times when my driving shift was over) typing treatments, and explanations, and bios, and budgets. Now I know why many people shy away from grant funding...the amount of info you need to gather is insane! All down time was spent with my laptop stuck to my fingers. I'm going to need another vacation to recover.

Anyhow, now we play the waiting game for those particular grants. It will likely be months before we hear anything, but everyone keep your fingers crossed. Again, if anyone following this blog knows of any source funding, please contact me.

August 2012

The project took a big step forward as the Wheeling National Area Heritage Corportation (WNHAC) agreed to be a fiscal sponsor. This means that we are now able to pursue grant funding that was not available to us before. While this is a major step towards advancing the project, now the real work begins. We have begun searching for various grant opportunities on both the federal and state level. If anyone knows of any grant organizations that likes to fund history or humanities projects, please let us know. We are likely going to need as many sources as we can get. Thanks!
