Budget
Please provide a complete project budget, including an indication of what AIA funds (maximum $15,000) will be intended to support. As a reminder, the AIA does not allow for Site Preservation Grant funds to be allocated to indirect or overhead costs. The grant funds that are awarded by the AIA are intended and should be used for direct costs associated with the designated project. The AIA does not fund: archaeological surveys; archaeological excavation (or the supplies to accomplish this); field schools; salaries; excessive administrative expenses or travels costs; the development of management plans. While expenses indirectly related to outreach such as travel and transportation costs, small stipends, per diems, site security equipment, etc. are permitted, they may weaken the competitiveness of an application.
