Huron Heritage Fund

The Huron Heritage Fund encourages the preservation of heritage assets and activities of heritage importance to the County of Huron and its residents.

Projects will assist in the preservation and restoration of heritage landmarks, historic buildings, and objects of historical significance not owned by the County of Huron. Heritage events and publications may also qualify for support under this program.

Projects open to or viewable by the public

The maximum grant to any one project will not exceed $5,000

Applications for grant funding will be reviewed and awarded based on need, merit, and public benefit. Preference will be given to those who have not received funding within the past three years.
