LHVA Partnership Grants Program
LHVA provides funding assistance to partner organizations through its Partnership Grants Program. In the past ten years, LHVA has provided $2,959,705 in grants funding to support projects and programs in the areas of place-based education, interpretive programming, historic preservation, cultural conservation, community trails, and community and economic development. This funding is an investment in Northeastern Pennsylvania that stimulates the region's economic development, enhances tourism initiatives, strengthens the capacity of community organizations, and increases the quality of life for area residents.
In this challenging economic environment, LHVA has experienced significant funding cuts at the state and federal levels. Grants have become more competitive than in previous years. However, LHVA continues to support high-quality projects that make a difference in the community.
TreeVitalize Metro Grant Program
LHVA administers the TreeVitalize Metro program, an initiative that provides grants and technical assistance to communities for tree-planting. This is a separate program from LHVA's Partnership Grant Program with different requirements.
