A grant program that may be of interest to some of you:

The purpose of the Global Heritage Preservation Fellowship Program is to support cultural heritage conservation and community development work with the potential for significant contributions to the long-term preservation of endangered cultural heritage sites in developing countries by international and in-country scholars and students.  We feel strongly that by supporting this generation in their preservation efforts and education we can help to secure endangered sites for future generations.

Global Heritage Fund (GHF) supports one-year projects in the disciplines of archaeological conservation, historic preservation, heritage management, conservation science, site management planning, GIS and mapping, and sustainable tourism and community development. GHF encourages interdisciplinary and collaborative projects, especially those that combine disciplines in novel and potentially productive ways focused on best practices in preservation of endangered cultural heritage sites in developing countries.

In 2009, a total of $60,000 in Global Heritage Preservation Fellowship Grants will be awarded, providing $2,000-5,000 in grants to approximately 15-20 grantees.  Grantees will receive half (50%) of the award prior to the field season and half (50%) upon acceptance of the Final Report.
