2024 Heritage Grant Recipients
We are pleased to present the recipients from our 2024 competitive cycle. These organizations were chosen to receive various levels of funding. Read their project summeries here.
As a small nonprofit, it is critical that we inspire organizations within the NHA to integrate our Management Plan activities into their own projects. This funding program is a natural way to do this, and we look forward to seeing the results of the awarded projects that span the wide horizons of both our landscape and our vision. We’re especially thrilled that many students, from elementary through high school, will be directly engaged because they are the future stewards of the area.
