Eligibility

501(c)(3) Latinx-led and/or Latinx-serving nonprofits and fiscally sponsored community groups; budgets under $500,000 prioritised. Individuals, government agencies, and schools/school districts cannot apply, so a researcher's route is as a partner to a community applicant. General academic research not tied to a preservation outcome (dissertations, independent historical research without a site) is excluded.
