Galena Foundation Grants
The Galena Foundation has initiated many partnerships to preserve the history of Galena. In addition to working first-hand on projects, the Foundation provides grants to enable organizations to complete preservation work.
School Trip Travel Grants
This travel grant was created to promote school age visits to historic sites in Galena and Jo Daviess County.
The money can be used for transportation, admission, snacks, and other expenses relating to the field trip.
All schools are eligible for the grant. While there is no firm limit, requests over $1,000 will require board approval (a procedure, not an obstacle). Funds are awarded directly to the school.
