Some More Grant Deadlines

Here's a bit of a bright spot in an otherwise bleak preservation forecast. The Baltimore City Heritage Area is looking for some good grant applications. Instead of doing what everyone seems to be doing these days, that is, plagiarizing, I figured I'd run the ad in toto with due credit given to the Baltimore City Heritage Area team headed by Mr. Bill Pencek. Here it is (note the quotation marks):

"BALTIMORE CITY HERITAGE AREA NOW SOLICITING GRANT APPLICATIONS"

"Grant applications for the next round of grants from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority Financing Fund are due to the offices of the Baltimore City Heritage Area on March 15, 2006. The Fund provides matching grants to assist activities which address or complete a priority identified in the Baltimore City Heritage Area Management Action Plan. Grant requests of up to $50,000 for non-capital projects, and $100,000 for capital projects are encouraged. Eligible activities include planning, design, interpretation and programming, as well as property pre-development, acquisition, development, rehabilitation and restoration. For a copy of the application go to www.marylandhistoricaltrust.net and look under "Forms and Documents," then "Heritage Areas" for the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority Project Grant Application. For more information contact Bill Pencek (bill.pencek@baltimorecity.gov) at 410 396-1954."

For those of you who can't follow directions, you can get the application in PDF just by clicking on the following: Take me to your application. You can get to the Action Plan from the BCHA website.
