The Fellows of the American Society of Genealogists are again pleased to offer grant opportunities in support of important continuing genealogical research projects. These grants are intended to assist with those projects sitting unfinished (or unstarted) on every genealogist’s “back burner” for lack of financial aid to help cover researching and writing time, costs of copies, fees, travel, and other usual expenses associated with genealogical research and publication.

Grants are for $2,500 each. Four grants are available for 2025. Projects are not limited regarding location, subject, length, or format, but the value of the work to other researchers and institutions will be an important consideration. Examples of possible projects include, but are not limited to, compilation of single or extended family genealogies, transcriptions or translations of original documents, bibliographies, indexes, studies of ethnic groups, geographic locations, migration patterns, legal history, etc., using genealogical resources and methods. Publication is not required, but acknowledgement of the support from the American Society of Genealogists in any distribution of the project results is requisite. The grantee is required to present ASG with a copy of the completed project in the format in which it exists – hard copy, digital image, database, etc.

To receive a 2025 Continuing Genealogical Grant Application, write to:

Deadline for submitting an application for 2025 grants is: April 1, 2025.
