HM Mini Grants
The Heritage Montgomery Mini-Grant Program supports non-profit organizations and local government entities that contribute to preserving, promoting, and interpreting the unique history, culture, and natural areas of the county.
Grants of $500 to $2,500 are awarded annually for programs consistent with Heritage Montgomery’s mission:
– Enhancing Montgomery County’s appeal to travelers who love history and culture
– Encouraging residents and visitors to understand and appreciate the history, culture, and natural areas of the county
– Promoting tourism and economic activity
– Fostering preservation and stewardship of historic buildings and sites
– Providing and encouraging others to provide interpretive and educational programs and services about local heritage
– Implementing, within Montgomery County, the provisions of the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority
Grants require a 100% match; for FY21, at least 25% of which must be cash. All applicants MUST contact HM Executive Director Sarah Rogers (director@heritagemontgomery.org) to discuss their projects before submitting a Mini-Grant application.
