Opportunity Details
Latinos in Heritage Conservation (LHC) is committed to supporting a strong, national movement for Latinx heritage preservation. To further this mission, we offer the Nuestra Herencia Grant Program, which is exclusively dedicated to funding Latinx heritage and historic preservation projects. With $600,000 in annual funding, this initiative empowers grassroots, Latinx-focused nonprofit organizations and community groups working to protect and uplift Latinx history and cultural contributions across the United States.
$600,000 in Funding Available
Your organization:
501(c)(3) nonprofit
This includes preservation-focused community groups, museums, cultural centers, historic preservation groups, historic sites, historical societies, etc.
If your organization does not yet have 501(c)(3) status, your project can be fiscally sponsored.
Latinx led and/or serving organization
We do not fund local, state, tribal, or federal agencies. We do not fund schools or school districts. We do not fund individuals.
These funds are intended for grassroots organizations and community-driven initiatives that lack sustained financial support. We prioritize applicants with annual operating budgets that are below $500,000. Staff size and other operating parameters will also be considered.
Applications from organizations with budgets that exceed $500,000 are still eligible and will be considered.
Fiscal Sponsorship
If your organization or community group is not a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, you may apply with a Fiscal Sponsor.
A Fiscal Sponsor is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that agrees to receive and manage grant funds on your behalf. They assume legal and financial responsibility for the grant, while your group—the Project Organization—leads the work and must meet the other eligibility criteria. Project Organizations can apply with a Fiscal Sponsor only if the sponsor's fee is less than 10% of the grant award.
You will be asked to provide the Fiscal Sponsors EIN number when beginning the application and there will be questions about both the Project Organization and the Fiscal Sponsor in the application. Unless otherwise noted, please answer all questions from the perspective of the Project Organization. If you plan to apply with a Fiscal Sponsor, we encourage you to speak with LHC staff before submitting your application.
For more information and resources regarding Fiscal Sponsors, visit the National Council of Nonprofits.
