Heritage Partnership Program
$2,060,000 the first year and $2,140,000 the second year are for partnerships involving multiple organizations, which may include the Minnesota Historical Society, to preserve and enhance access to Minnesota's history and cultural heritage in all regions of the state.
Measurable outcomes include the number of counties, applicants, and grantees served through the grants program and the types of grants awarded. In addition, grants staff measure the amount of technical assistance provided, including through workshops, site visits, phone calls, emails, and face-to-face consultation. Grants staff also monitor the improvement grant applicants make with each grant application and the degree to which project results meet professional standards, ensuring Minnesota's historic resources are properly preserved.
