ANNUAL MEETING GRANTS!

There really is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, and that rainbow touches Atlanta in July.  The 2008 NAGARA Conference is pleased to announce, that for the first time ever, valuable grants will be awarded at its plenary session, held on July 24th, to local, state or federal government entities. These grants are made possible through the generosity of The Genealogical Society of Utah (known as “FamilySearch” on the Internet) and The Generations Network (known as “Ancestry.com” on the Internet).

Applying for a grant is simple and everything you need is in these three documents:

2008 NAGARA How to Apply states who is eligible to apply and walks you through exactly what you need to do to prepare and submit an application.

2008 NAGARA Grant Details gives an overview of the grants, including specifics as to amounts and criteria on which winners will be judged.

2008 NAGARA Request for Proposals contains details about the legalities of what is and is not offered in the grants and donors’ expectations of grantees (in other words, the fine print). It also shows in its appendices the default indexing and publishing model that will be used unless you require a different model. While it may look ponderous on first glance, please do not be put off! It won’t take long to read and you are strongly encouraged to do so.

While it is not required to be present at the Conference in order to win, we naturally look forward to a large and enthusiastic turnout. Think about what use you could make of these grant opportunities! Now go sharpen those virtual pencils and apply today!
