Field Note
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Heritage Preservation Grants
Heritage Partnership Program
Shared Workforce is one of four categories of partnerships the Heritage Partnership Program can fund. Partners may individually have similar needs that do not warrant the hiring of full-time staff or contractors, but aggregating those functions for a temporary supplemental staff person or contractor might allow for a more intentional treatment of similar historic resources for greater public benefit. The funding for Shared Workforce is a one-time source of funding to enable a partnership to dramatically increase its capacity for a specified time period or to test the idea of a shared workforce among partners. The application must thoroughly demonstrate that the partnership has carefully planned how to evaluate success and sustain a shared workforce beyond the grant period. The mandatory pre-application deadline for Heritage Partnership Program Grants is Friday January 26, 2024. Learn more »

Heritage Partnership Program
Shared Resources is one of four categories of partnerships the Heritage Partnership Program can fund. Partners may individually manage similar resources on behalf of the public. Streamlining management of those resources for greater efficiency will allow for a more comprehensive public benefit. The application must thoroughly demonstrate that the partners and their customers will benefit from the compilation and sharing of resources. The partners must be able to sustain the results of the project/program beyond the grant period. The mandatory pre-application deadline for Heritage Partnership Program Grants is Friday, January 26, 2024. Learn more »
