Are there rules concerning how awarded funds must be allocated?
Funds must be allocated for the purposes outlined in your request. Providing funds to help with digitization—for both preservation and access—is the primary goal of the Heritage Trust Project grant program. Grant funds may be applied toward purchasing hardware, software, staffing, acid-free containers for post-digitization storage or any other purpose that, in the eyes of the judges, serves the larger goal of preserving our information heritage.
