Save Our History, a program of the History Channel and the American Association for State and Local History, is a national initiative that supports local history education and historic preservation efforts in communities across the United States. Each year, Save Our History awards a total of $250,000 to history organizations that partner with schools or youth groups on preservation projects that engage students in learning about, documenting, and preserving the history of their communities.
Eligible applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) history organizations (e.g., museums, historical societies, preservation organizations, historic sites, libraries, or archives) located in one of the fifty states or the District of Columbia. Applicants must partner with a local elementary, middle, or high school(s), or organization(s) that provides educational programming for children of similar ages to design a historic education and preservation project.
