UTRF has just received word from National Trust for Historic Preservation regarding details of the elimination of Save America's Treasures funding from the FY 2011 federal budget.
For the last 10 years, SAT has been an immensely important source of funding to preserve cultural heritage sites in the United States. In December, 2008, UTRF was awarded a grant from Save America's Treasures that provided $200,000 in matching funds for the restoration of Unity Temple's south roof slab. We all know how difficult it is to raise brick-and-mortar funding for historic places, and have often wished that greater help was available from the federal government. Please take a moment to review the email and talking points below, and consider letting Congress know how much preserving our cultural heritage means to you and your community.
