Heritage Conservation Council
Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant Program
Developed alongside the Heritage Conservation Council in 2011, the Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant Program provides funding to organizations to support a variety of natural and cultural heritage conservation projects in Douglas County.
Natural & Cultural Heritage Grant Program Overview
The Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant Program is an annual grant program designed to support community projects that protect, conserve, and share Douglas County’s heritage.
Grants are awarded in a competitive cycle beginning in January each year. With administrative assistance from the Heritage Conservation Coordinator, the Heritage Conservation Council (HCC) reviews applications and makes recommendations of grant awards to the Board of County Commissioners.
Grant awards may be up to $75,000 and projects must be completed on a two-year timeline. In 2025, $210,000 was available for Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant awards.
We are not currently accepting applications for the Natural and Cultural Heritage Grant Program. Please check back in January for information about the 2026 program. If you have any questions about a potential project before January, please contact the Heritage Coordinator to discuss your project's eligibility.
