Finding Funds...

Need a Boost for Restoration or Repair?
​It's that time again...
Submitted by Joan and Dale Prouty

Funding for schoolhouse repairs and preservation is always a challenge for many of our tiny schoolhouse organizations.  CSAA  wants to help once again by offering grants to offset those costs and/or serve as seed money towards other grants and funding sources.
 
Under CSAA's  SCHOOLHOUSE BUILDING GRANTS PROGRAM:

Consider applying for a PRESERVATION GRANT – This can be used in restoring or conserving a one or two-room school building.  It is designated for repairing or restoring some part of the building ONLY. The grant is not intended for the purchase of artifacts or grounds work.
 
Another is for DISASTER RELIEF – This is used to cover damage from an unforeseen occurrence such as a storm, accident, or structural failure.  These funds are designated to help restore some part of the damaged building.  It is not for regular maintenance or building improvement.
 
The complete guidelines and applications for the BUILDING GRANTS can be found on the CSAA website. The application can be completed and submitted electronically and the deadline is January 31st of each calendar year.  ​
