Save America's Treasures Grant Program
Innovative federal/private partnership funds the preservation and conservation of the U.S's irreplaceable and endangered historic properties, sites, documents, artistic works and artifacts.
Today, the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) and the National Park Service (NPS), jointly announced the awarding of $7.6 million in federal competitive Save America's Treasures (SAT) grants, which are made in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). With these funds, 31 organizations and agencies will act to conserve significant U.S. cultural and historic treasures, which illustrate, interpret and are associated with the great events, ideas, and individuals that contribute to our nation's history and culture.
Laura Bush, Honorary Chair of the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, said, "President Bush and I want to ensure that our historic properties, artifacts and communities throughout the nation continue to be preserved and enjoyed by future generations. Through Save America's Treasures and the Preserve America Initiative, we promote cultural and natural preservation, and encourage greater appreciation of our national heritage."
