Arts, Humanities & Historic Preservation (AHHP) Grants

Arts, Humanities and Historic Preservation (AHHP) grant funds are available for community organizations and local governments seeking supplementary funds for local arts, humanities, and historic preservation projects. Eligible projects in the arts include public exhibitions, performances, publications, lectures and video, film or slide documentaries. These activities may encompass dance, theater, music, architecture, folk arts, literary arts, and visual arts. Humanities and historic preservation projects involve branches of learning that deal with human thought and culture, excluding the sciences. They include but are not limited to history, languages, literature, poetry, and philosophy. Specifically, history projects are similar in scope with specific activities directed at research, documentation, and preservation of the unique cultural history of Sauk County. The AHHP grant is not for "brick & mortar" projects. Also, the AHHP grant supported activities must culminate in tangible services presented to the community within 12 months of when the grant was awarded. Public access to the project, program, or service is a requirement of the grant.
