A funding source guide for historic preservation projects in South Dakota

Budget cuts for historic preservation and other humanities based projects are occurring on the federal, state, and local levels. Funding sources that historically supported these types of projects are being scaled back and eliminated. Given the current political trends, this situation will probably continue for the next several years. It is, therefore, imperative that funding sources are identified and solicited if current preservation efforts are to continue.This creative project is a funding source guidebook for historic preservation projects for the historic preservation constituency of South Dakota. This guidebook explains grants and the grant solicitation process, identifies potential funding sources and programs for historic preservation projects, and gives information about grant, funding source, and proposal writing.
