Category: Arts & Culture
DescriptionEstablished by Adolph H. and Ginger Meyer, the Foundation supports the sustainable development of agriculture and community food systems, the protection of natural resources, and the conservation of early American heritage. The Foundation's American Heritage Program supports organizations and institutions that preserve, protect, and promote expressions of America's heritage, particularly American furniture and decorative arts; ensure present and future generations maintain a sense of continuity with the past; and promote the shared values of freedom for the individual and creative pioneer spirit that fostered the innovation and industriousness that built the nation. Grants are awarded for projects that preserve or restore high-quality classic and handcrafted furniture, decorative arts, and similar objects of early American material culture and their placement on public display for the appreciation and understanding of present and future generations; offer training, apprenticeships, and other career development opportunities to people interested in the curation, conservation, preservation, or restoration of Americana or America's historic buildings and cultural landscapes; undertake select preservation or restoration projects in significant buildings that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and other important public spaces and cultural landscapes (with a focus on Michigan); and produce publications, exhibits, visual media, interactive experiences, or educational programs that contributes to a better understanding of Americana and American heritage.
