Acknowledgement Statements

Before Submitting a Project Inquiry please review and acknowledge the following principles of working with HistoriCorps:

1. HistoriCorps is a nonprofit education and training partner—not a preservation contractor.
Our mission is to teach and train volunteers, students, and youth corps members through hands-on projects that accomplish meaningful preservation goals. A successful HistoriCorps project is a partnership built around shared planning, clear communication, and significant volunteer engagement.

2. HistoriCorps projects use a fixed-schedule, variable-scope model.
Unlike a traditional contractor, HistoriCorps commits to a defined number of project sessions, crew sizes, and workdays. Our Program Managers work with each partner to establish priorities and develop a realistic scope of work for that schedule. The amount of work completed may vary depending on existing conditions, weather, crew experience, material availability, and other field circumstances. The highest-priority work will be completed first, but completion of an entire scope within the scheduled project period cannot be guaranteed.

3. HistoriCorps does not provide project funding.
Our strengths are project development and management, volunteer recruitment and training, and hands-on preservation. Project partners are responsible for securing project funding, permits, approvals, materials, and other agreed-upon resources. HistoriCorps can provide project information to support grant applications, and our non-cash, in-kind contributions typically represent approximately 25% of a project’s total value.

4. HistoriCorps projects must provide a public benefit.
Eligible project sites are generally located on public lands, owned by a nonprofit organization, or regularly open and accessible to the public. Public agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other eligible community partners are encouraged to submit project inquiries.

5. Every project is developed collaboratively.
Our Program Managers work closely with partners to assess project needs, establish priorities, develop the scope and budget, and prepare the project for successful implementation. Our Workforce Manager recruits and coordinates volunteers, students, and youth corps members from across the country. HistoriCorps Field Staff provide technical instruction, supervise the work, and create a safe and meaningful learning experience while advancing the project’s preservation goals.

6. We welcome projects that help tell a fuller story of America's history.
HistoriCorps values the many ways historic places help communities understand and share their past. We welcome opportunities to preserve places of local, regional, and national significance and to help tell the full range of stories that make up our shared history.

By submitting this inquiry, I understand that working with HistoriCorps is a collaborative education and training partnership and that HistoriCorps does not operate as a traditional contractor. I also understand that projects are planned around a fixed schedule and prioritized scope, and that the amount of work completed during the scheduled project may vary.

Please acknowledge you have read the above before submitting your project inquiry.

I acknowledge and agree to all of the above statements
