The Americana Foundation’s Early American Art and Heritage Projects
The Americana Foundation’s American Heritage program area supports projects and programs throughout the United States that seek to broaden the inclusivity of early American art and the early American historical narrative to “tell the full story of” the American experience. The Foundation seeks to support organizations and projects that elevate those whose perspectives have been traditionally underrepresented, especially people of color, Indigenous people, and women. Examples of eligible projects include interpretation or reinterpretation of art, decorative arts, or other objects of early American material culture (“Americana”) and their placement on public display for the appreciation and understanding of present and future generations; internships, fellowships, apprenticeships, and other career development opportunities for people interested in the curation, conservation, preservation, or restoration of Americana; and exhibits, visual media, interactive experiences, and other educational programs that contribute to better understanding or “tell the full story” of the American experience.
Grant amount: Typically $10,000 to $25,000
Concept letters and grant applications are accepted on a rolling basis and reviewed quarterly.
Department of Agriculture
The purpose of the Farm to School Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement is to support nonprofit entities and Indian tribal organizations to implement national- or regional-level farm-to-school activities. Awardees under this cooperative agreement will undertake projects supporting USDA’s priorities of food system transformation, improving child health through nutritious school meals, and Indigenous food sovereignty.
There are three funding tracks available, corresponding with each USDA priority. The Supporting Community Engagement track supports projects that expand farm-to-school institutes. The Supporting Producer Engagement track funds projects that strengthen producer engagement with the child nutrition programs market. Finally, the Supporting Tribal Engagement track will fund an entity to conduct tribal dialogues with the purpose of supporting Food and Nutrition Services’ farm-to-school grantmaking and technical assistance for tribal entities.
