Ready for a Challenge?
The This Place Matters Community Challenge is on! Communities all over the country have identified historic sites worthy of support and need your help to win $25,000.
Voting is easy. Check out our Community Map to see every participating community and the places they’ve nominated, then read why they need your support. Browse all the pictures and stories before deciding to commit, because you only get to support ONE historic place.
Do you want to add a site in your own community? You can! Applications will be accepted throughout the contest, so apply now and get your cause on the map before the voting period ends September 15th.
It's the hottest challenge of the summer. Have questions? Email us!
