In collaboration with the American Association for State and Local History (<a href="http://www.aaslh.org/">http://www.aaslh.org/</a>) and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (<a href="http://www.rockpa.org/">http://www.rockpa.org/</a>), the History Channel (<a href="http://www.historychannel.com">http://www.historychannel.com/</a>) has announced the 2006-07 Save Our History Grant Program.

The program will award $250,000 in total grants of up to $10,000 each to U.S. historical organizations to fund hands-on, experiential educational projects that teach students about their local history and actively engage them in its preservation.

History organizations, including museums, historical societies, preservation organizations, archives, libraries, and government agencies, can partner on preservation projects with a school district, a coalition of schools, one school, or an organization that provides educational programming for children.

For grant program criteria, examples of funded projects, and/or to apply online, visit the Save Our History Web site.
