2025-2026 Heritage Grants Now Accepting Applications

Small Grant Rolling Funds

Accepting applications for funding up to $10,000.

These grants are designed for shovel-ready projects that can be completed in less than 12 months and require less reporting and only one reimbursement at the project’s completion. However, additional reporting may be required depending on complexity or timeline of the project. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and will be accepted until funding has been fully obligated.
