The Clark County Council is accepting applications from local organizations for grants that encourage historic preservation and programs, including preservation of historic documents.

The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. Sept. 15.

The Historical Promotion Grants program is designed to increase awareness and education to better preserve, exhibit, and/or interpret local history and historic preservation.

Applicants must be either a nonprofit organization or public entity within the county that promotes local history. Applicants also must either operate or own a museum or similar historical institution or perform educative, interpretive, or similar activities.

Applications, grant guidelines, and other information are available at www.clark.wa.gov/community-planning/historical-promotion-grants-program or email historicpreservation@clark.wa.gov.

An informational session for potential applicants will be held this summer. The date and time will be announced later.

The Historic Preservation Commission will review applications in the fall and submit recommendations to the county council in November. Grants will be awarded in December and grant funds will be available in January 2024.
