Opportunity Summary:
The State and National Archival Partnership (SNAP) Grants program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) through the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). Its main purpose is to strengthen archival and historical records programs in every state and to connect those efforts into a coordinated national archival network. In practice, the program is meant to support the core work that helps archives function well statewide: planning, training, coordination, public outreach, collaboration, and ongoing assessment of records conditions and needs.
SNAP grants are specifically designed to fund the work of State Historical Records Advisory Boards (SHRABs). Through this program, SHRABs can provide statewide archival services such as professional education and training opportunities, public information and outreach about records and archival programs, and other activities that carry out statewide archival plans. The program also supports SHRAB-run regrant programs, meaning the board can administer a state-level grants program that funds eligible local archives, manuscript repositories, and related organizations within the state. Another major focus is collaboration: SNAP funds can be used to work with partners across a state or among multiple state archives to tackle shared challenges or take advantage of shared opportunities, such as common preservation problems, access and description needs, or coordinated initiatives.
A key element of the program is assessment and strategy development. SNAP projects can include evaluating the overall health of archival and records programs, examining the condition of historical records, and identifying the challenges and opportunities facing both records custodians and the public that uses these materials. The goal is not only to study problems but to implement strategies and programs that address the most pressing archival issues. SNAP also supports convening and coordination activities, including holding meetings and public forums on statewide or national archival issues, and participating in national archival organizations so that state-level work aligns with broader professional standards and shared national priorities.
Eligibility is narrow and strictly enforced. Only the SHRAB in each state, or the state agency responsible for the SHRAB (most commonly the state archives), may receive these grants. However, another state agency or a nonprofit organization, such as a foundation or university, may apply on behalf of the designated state agency. The program treats "states" broadly to include the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories. Applications that do not meet this eligibility requirement are considered ineligible and will not be reviewed.
Funding for this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SNAP 201009) had an award ceiling of $65,000 and no stated award floor (listed as $0). The assistance listing connected to the program is CFDA 89.003, National Historical Publications and Records Grants, and the activity category is Humanities (with Cultural Affairs referenced in CFDA context). Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants should expect to contribute non-federal resources as part of the project budget structure.
For this specific posted cycle, the opportunity was posted and created on March 26, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2010, and an archive date of October 9, 2010. The primary point of contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was David Davis, Grants Program Specialist, reachable at (202) 357-5022. The full grant announcement link is referenced as the place where additional requirements and forms would be found, which typically matters for understanding allowable costs, match rules, reporting expectations, and application package details.
