Heritage Legacy Fund - response to COVID-19
If you currently have a grant through the Heritage Legacy Fund, we
appreciate this is an unusual time and that you may not be able to meet the
objectives you’ve committed to. We’ll be flexible with all reporting
timelines, and are available to work with you to reschedule timelines as
needed. We also trust you to rework your project’s budget to shift or
rethink your community activities or events to comply with government
regulations and directives – no need to check in with us first. Please note
that funds cannot be used for any activities that contravene government
regulations and directives.
For those of you who are in the process of applying for a grant, we’re
committed to continuing with the current intake. We appreciate that it may
be challenging for you to describe accurately your current and proposed
activities and events, and will be flexible with this requirement where
applicable. We will accommodate application submission extension requests
as best we can while still ensuring you will be able to capitalize on the
summer season for your project if needed. Email Laura Saretsky for more
information.
Information about the current intake for Heritage Legacy Fund programs can
