Year-Long America 250 Celebration Across Tennessee

From Tennessee Arts Commission-

Governor Bill Lee has launched a year-long, statewide celebration of America 250, honoring our country’s upcoming 250th birthday and recognizing the people, places and events that define Tennessee’s contributions to America!

The Tennessee Commission for the United States Semiquincentennial offers two grant opportunities for organizations and communities centered around Tennessee’s unique stories. The total combined allocation for these two grant opportunities is $3,500,000.

The two grant opportunities are:

• Project Support Grants (up to $20,000)
• Community Support Grants (up to $25,000)

Grants are facilitated by the Tennessee State Museum and will be reviewed until funding is exhausted. Successful grant applicants will propose projects that support the mission of the Tennessee Semiquincentennial Commission, which is to promote an inclusive statewide celebration and educational commemoration of America’s 250th by interpreting and preserving Tennessee’s unique stories, objects, landmarks, and places across our diverse state that defined who we are as Tennesseans and Americans. The Commission has a statewide focus on Tennesseans and Tennessee events that have shaped American democracy from the Revolutionary era to the present.
