Colorado State Preservation and Restoration (P&R) and Education Grant Awards

​

To apply for a Colorado grant, a chapter must complete the application form and commit 20% of the total project cost from its own treasury. The application follows the International Guidelines for P&R awards. State grants to local chapters are awarded at the Spring Council Meeting in odd years.

 

Funding for the Colorado State Questers P&R and Education Grant Awards is provided through fundraisers held at the Fall Event and Spring Council meetings as well as donations from state chapters.
