Genealogy Grant Program
The Indiana Genealogical Society (IGS) has established the Genealogy Grant Program to
support Indiana genealogists and genealogical societies. The Society plans to award a $500
grant each year in three categories, for a total of $1500 annually.
The three categories are as follows—
1. Cemetery Restoration Grant : A $500 cash award to an Indiana genealogical or
historical society for a project to restore and/or renovate an Indiana pioneer cemetery.
1. Resource Development Grant : A $500 cash award to an Indiana genealogical or
historical society for a project to develop a new Indiana genealogical resource in either
a printed or electronic format.
1. Chapter Resource Grant : A $500 cash award to an IGS Chapter Society for a project
to support the operation of that society.
Societies interested in applying for any of the three grants should visit the IGS website
and print out this Genealogy Grant Application Form.
The following restrictions apply to all grant categories—
1. All work on the grant project must be completed within twelve months of the grant
award.
2. The grantee society must provide a written summary report to the IGS following the
project completion.
3. A society may only receive one grant from the Program per grant year, although that
society may apply for more than one grant type each year.
4. Applicants must complete all parts of the Application Form. The IGS Board of
Directors will evaluate the submitted applications. The Board decision on the grant awards
will be final.
The application deadline for each grant year is December 31 . Grant approval notifications
will be announced following the next IGS Board meeting. Checks will be presented at the
IGS Annual Conference.
Note: The IGS may elect not to award a grant in a category, if, in the opinion of the IGS
Board, a suitable project has not been proposed in that category. Mail completed
applications to: IGS Genealogy Grant Program, P.O. Box 10507, Fort Wayne, IN 46852.

Re; Kyle, there has been a fund set up this year to help. Thanks for that
tip.
I have another question to the list. I know some of you have had luck with
grants. I have never worked on them. We have new class starting at Purdue
this fall and they want to work on grants to help with restoration of
Greenbush in Lafayette. I'm guessing here, but there are still about 10 to
12 big trees that need to come out yet.
We have had a good year at Greenbush, starting the beginning of restoration
and getting Schools involved. Several different groups have come to help
with making Greenbush better. I really enjoy the Community connections.
This Saturday we will be attending a fundraiser that has already sold out to
help next years expenses. Take a look at the video on her site.

The cemetery which I am president of is teetering on having to be turned
over to the township. We have set up a fund at our community foundation
for
people to be able to bequeath money to us in their estate planning. We
haven't done any promotion of this yet but I hope to work on that this
winter. We rely on burial sales to fund us and the trustee already
provides a
majority of the funding for the mowing and insurance (I discovered that
in
1925 when the cemetery was added on to and a new board formed, the
trustee
didn't deed the old section to the new board, so she can legally help us
with
these expenses) Our next step may be to disband the board and let the
township handle the operation if we don't see an infusion of funds
relatively
soon.
See if your community foundation can be of any help, L.A.

Thank you for all the responses. I have a ton of bounced emails.
There is a Purdue writing class that was created this month. They are
exploring the problems and what it takes to own a cemetery. We have had
two
in Tippecanoe County recently that were turned to the Township trustees.
I’m excited by the on in Lafayette. The Trustee has taken the
restoration workshops and is seeking ideas and help from the community to
donate time
and tools. And we are receiving good feedback.
The biggest problem we have at Greenbush is the trees that have been
neglected for about 50 years.
The other one is ground hogs.
Then there is financing. Mowing is about 750.00 per week. She also has
a freeze on her tax rate.
I would like to hear your thoughts on problem solving ideas.
