The objective of the Heritage Support Grants program is to advance the care of and access to history in Indiana, while increasing the capacity of organizations that carry out this work.

In order to apply for a project or mini grant, organizations must meet all the following criteria:

• Be incorporated in the State of Indiana as a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation*
• Reflect history as a significant component of its mission and/or propose a project that is clearly history focused.**
  Priority will be given to Indiana history projects.
• Have an annual budget of less than $300,000

**A history-focused project should interpret, present or otherwise disseminate historical narrative or information. Structures and landscapes will only be considered if they are primarily used to facilitate historical interpretation or house significant historical collections.
