FEMA Funding for Damaged Collections

Friday, November 09, 2012 5:09 PM | Deleted user

The State Archives has received word that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has scheduled applicant briefings for grants to state, tribal, and local governments, and certain types of private nonprofit organizations that provide services of an educational or governmental nature. Eligible nonprofits include entities such as libraries, museums, performing arts facilities, and community arts centers.

If your organization has suffered records damage, you should attend the applicants briefing in the county where your damaged facility is located to learn how to apply for FEMA funding. Because the schedule is subject to change, please confirm the date, time and location of the briefings in your county. Note that these briefings will not address programs for individuals or businesses.
