On the advice of its appointed Grants and Education Committee, the Massachusetts Society makes grants from income on an annual basis to organizations whose activities and goals are deemed consistent with, and supportive of, the stated purposes for which the Society was founded.
Proposals should encompass either one or more of the following categories: 1. Education: Educational efforts which are designed to inform an audience about some aspect or aspects of the Revolutionary period will be considered. Such efforts may be in the form of an honorarium for a speaker or speakers or for the development and/or dissemination of curriculum materials. 2. Research: Funds may be awarded for research on an individual or on some aspect of the Revolutionary period. Special consideration will be given to research pertaining to the military during that period. 3. Conservation/Restoration: Funds will be awarded for the conservation or whole or partial restoration of structures, artifacts, paintings, graphics and printed documents and manuscripts of the Revolutionary period, with special emphasis on military items of that period. Restoration and conservation work must be carried out by an individual or organization well known to New England organizations which specialize in such matters, or by such organizations themselves.
