Who can apply
“Eligible recipients are 501(c)(3) organizations with a current project related to Texas history.”
Covers Texas history curriculum and educational programs, public history events, and preservation. For religious institutions, clubs and schools, the project must clearly benefit people beyond the group or congregation. The FAQ says applications with a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor are accepted for both Micro and Annual Grants. For building projects, the property must generally be owned by the applicant.
