Description
Interested in learning more about the grant opportunities through the National Park Service? Do you have a project that might be a good fit for the African American Civil Rights, History of Equal Rights, or Underrepresented Communities grant programs? Are you looking ahead to upcoming opportunities including Save America’s Treasures, Tribal Heritage Grants, HBCU Preservation Grant, or the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grants? Then join us for a program with Megan Brown and Katherine Carey of the National Park Service to learn about funding opportunities, ask questions, and learn how your organization might partner as a fiscal agent to take advantage of the grants.
This webinar co-sponsored by the Louisiana Trust for Historic Preservation, Preserve Louisiana, and the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans.
About our speaker, Megan J. Brown
Megan has worked at the National Park Service for 18 years, starting as a Grants Management Specialist, and then spending 10 years as the Certified Local Government (CLG) Coordinator, and now serves as the Chief of the State, Tribal, Local, Plans & Grants Division located within the Cultural Resources Directorate of the National Park Service in Washington, DC. She is responsible for the management of the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and the average $80-140 million that it disburses annually to State, Tribal, and local preservation partners. Over 1000 active grants fund annual assistance to States and Tribes, as well as competitive grant programs when funded by Congress like: Underrepresented Communities, African American Civil Rights, Save America’s Treasures, and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. With a staff of 20, the division works hard to provide the outreach and training necessary to enable our partners to carry out the programs outlined by the National Historic Preservation Act and funded by the HPF.
Before joining NPS, Megan worked in the Southwest Office of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, in Fort Worth, Texas, and the State Historic Preservation Office in South Carolina where she managed the State Grant and Federal Tax Incentive programs. Her education includes a Bachelor in Architecture from Auburn University and Master in Historic Preservation from the University of South Carolina. She is an avid equestrian and enjoys time and travel with her family, horses, and friends.
