The Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) recently announced its 2021 funding round. As explained on its website, "The New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program  is an independent state authority that makes matching grants to NH communities and non-profits to conserve and preserve New Hampshire's most important natural, cultural, and historic resources." 

In 2020, LCHIP funded 32 projects totaling over $4 million. For its current grant round, interested applicants are required to attend a grant orientation workshop, or have someone from their organization that has attended the workshop within the last five years.

This year there will be two workshops. The first, for historic resource applicants, is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Apr. 29. Those interested can register via Zoom.

The second workshop. for natural resource applicants, is scheduled for the morning of May 5 along with other government funding sources for natural resource conservation. Stay tuned to the LCHIP website for details and registration information as this event evolves. 

For questions about a potential natural resource project proposal, contact Paula Bellemore, Natural Resource Specialist at pbellemore@lchip.org, and for questions about a potential historic resource project proposal, contact George Born, Historic Resource Specialist at gborn@lchip.org.
