Questers Grants and P&R and Education Projects
Preserving the past for the future.
Encourage preservation and restoration on local levels by state chapters.
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 must include 20% of the total project cost from its own treasury. The application follows the International Guidelines for P&R awards.
Funding for the Colorado State Questers P&R and Education Grant Awards is provided through fundraisers held at the Fall Luncheon and Spring Council meetings as well as donations from state chapters. Awards can be $5,000-$6,000.
Chapters may submit recommendations for the State President’s project each year to the executive board. The state president decides on the project for her term. The project can be for 1 to 2 years but it must be completed by the end of her term. Chapters may also donate to State President's project. Previous projects include:
-
2018–19: Joyce Hall, Restoration of Governor's Vivian portrait and frame
-
2019–20: Joyce Hall, Restoration of oak floors in Hayden Heritage Center
-
2020–22: Lee Hensley, Restoration of dining room wall at the Historic Stanley Home in Estes Park, CO
Questers International P&R and Education Grants
The International Questers organization funds International P&R and Education Grant awards. Grants are awarded at the International Convention (in even years) to state chapters that have approved grants. These grants are funded by dues and donations from chapters throughout the United States and Canada. International grants are also awarded at the International Convention (in odd years) for historical education.
Additional information on International grants may be found on the International website.
