Grants

Each year, the Lake Champlain Basin Program—as the managing entity of the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership—awards implementation grants that allow partners in the region to protect and interpret our heritage. These grants, which are funded through the National Park Service, are offered in a number of categories, including local heritage, interpretive themes, collections, internships and special categories. Since 2008, 249 CVNHP projects totaling $2.3 million have been awarded.
