Historic Preservation Committee
Gayleen Babcock Chickering, Chairman
It is our job as Daughters of
this great organization to Celebrate Stars
and Stripes Forever! If the past two years
have taught us anything it is that we must
preserve our heritage for future generations. We
can start small, in our own communities. The DAR
Historic Preservation Grant program provides
financial support for local projects which
demonstrates our mission of historic
preservation. Funding these local projects
creates awareness of NSDAR and your local
chapters’ involvement in the community.
Daughters who participate in this program will
experience a sense of pride that will attract
other prospective members.
The following awards and
projects are available:
- Historic Preservation Medal
- Historic Preservation Grants
- Historic Preservation Recognition Award
- Excellence in Historic Preservation
Certificate
- Historic Preservation Project Contest
- Historic Sites and Property Preservation
The application must also
contain a sponsorship letter on organization
letterhead and signed by the NSDAR chapter or
state regent. Only grant applications strictly
conforming to the application requirements will
be judged.
This year’s grant applications
must be submitted online between June 1–December
31, 2022. Early submissions may be reviewed by
the National Chair for compliance with the grant
requirements and changes allowed if corrected by
December 31, 2022. Successful grantees will be
notified by May 1, 2023.
I am excited to see what your local chapters do
in your communities. Please reach out if you
have any questions.
Gayleen
