Maryland Heritage Areas Project Grant Deadlines

If you are planning to apply for a Maryland Heritage Areas Authority (MHAA) Project Grant for FY 2011, we have posted each heritage area’s grant deadline and submission information here. Applicants should remember that all submissions (except for multi-heritage area projects) must be submitted first to your local heritage area and not directly to MHAA. Please also note that many heritage areas ask for an Intention to Apply form before a full proposal is submitted, so check to see what your heritage area requires.
