## How and where would you dispense $10,000; $100,000; $1,000,000; and $10,000,000 to have maximum impact for public history?

# $10,000
#
- $3,000 grants to three people of color from low-income neighborhoods.

- These individuals collect the stories of their neighbors, to be uploaded to a shared and collaboratively moderated site/database.

- The remaining $1,000 would fund a community exhibition and event.

# $100,000
#
- $30,000 grants to three grassroots organizations (cultural and social service).

- The organizations collect the stories of their constituents, to be uploaded to a shared and collaboratively moderated site/database.

- The remaining $10,000 would fund a community exhibition and event.

# $1,000,000
#
- $200,000 endowments to five grassroots organizations (cultural and social service).

- The organizations engage in the ongoing collection of the stories of their constituents, to be uploaded to a shared and collaboratively moderated site/database.

- $200,000 would generate $10,000 of general operating support per year (given a 5% return rate).

- This amount would be enough to provide some continued stability and cash flow for small nonprofits.

# $10,000,000
#
- Start a foundation.

- Ten million dollars would generate $500,000 of general operating support per year (given a 5% return rate).

- Grant five $50,000 scholarships for low-income, first generation public history students of color.

- Grant five $50,000 fellowships for faculty of color.

- This guarantees infiltration of the white, middle-class "profession" is both bottom-up and top-down.
