Kansans Tell Their Stories Grants
What are Kansans Tell Their Stories Grants?
Kansans Tell Their Stories grants are intended
to strengthen community through the exploration of heritage, traditions,
and ideas. The preservation of local and unique stories will create
opportunities for a better understanding of Kansas. What does it
mean to be a Kansan? How has this changed over time? The Kansans
Tell Their Stories grants will reflect on the Kansas way-of-life
throughout history as well as in contemporary times.
