We are excited to provide an update on the America250MI History Grant Program as we prepare for Round 2! First and foremost, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in Round 1. The quality of proposals was truly outstanding, showcasing Michigan’s deep commitment to preserving and interpreting its history.
​
We are excited to announce that Round 2 will officially open on November 1, 2025. In this round, there will be a deeper emphasis on the 5 Guiding Themes and a strong focus on creating new and meaningful partnerships that will enhance our collective efforts. As we finalize the details, you can expect detailed grant guidelines and application instructions to be available on November 1. Round 2 will close on January 15, 2026. Please note that the links for Round 1 are no longer active.

In addition, we will soon be announcing office hours and three grant webinars to provide further support and answer any questions you may have about the application process.
Thank you once again for your dedication to sharing Michigan's unique stories and heritage. We believe that, together, we can ensure these narratives are preserved for future generations.
