Preserve Arkansas is excited to partner with the National Park Service to bring you more information about their historic preservation grant programs. Do you have a project that might be a good fit for the African American Civil Rights, History of Equal Rights, or Underrepresented Communities grant programs? Join us for a talk by Megan Brown, Chief of the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division of the National Park Service, to learn about these funding opportunities and many more. Find out how your organization might serve as a fiscal agent for a partner to take advantage of the grants, and ask questions directly about the application process.
