Do you have a good idea for preserving or sharing Juneau’s history or culture? Are you a teacher looking for an authentic history project for your students? Do you have an interest in a specific aspect of our local history? If you answered yes to any of these questions, consider applying for a Juneau History Grant. The Juneau History Grant supports and encourages research, learning, dissemination, recording, and archiving of all types of information pertaining to the human history of Juneau and Douglas, and is open to organizations, groups, or individuals of all ages.
The Juneau History Grant is administered by the Juneau-Douglas City Museum, with funding from the Friends of the Juneau-Douglas City Museum and the Juneau Community Foundation. Projects are typically funded at the $400-$1200 level; however, the Committee will consider all worthy projects within its ability to subsidize. Examples of projects include: live performances, public presentations, recordings (audio or video), publications, community signage or memorials, or any other project that produces a tangible product that can be shared with the public.
The next deadline to apply for a Juneau History Grant is October 1, 2025. However, deadlines occur biannually, so if you would like more time to plan your project, you can also aim to complete your application by April 1, 2026.
