The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor announced the 13 nonprofit organizations and municipalities that will receive IMPACT! Grants in 2021 totaling $108,787.
These grants advance work to preserve and showcase canal heritage, educate youth and welcome people to explore the canal in their local communities. Funding ranges from $1,500 to $12,000 and will leverage an additional $146,630 in private and public project support.
“As the pandemic continues to present abnormal challenges, it is especially gratifying to support diverse canal-inspired innovations,” said Bob Radliff, executive director of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. “We are so pleased to make these timely investments and contribute to the resilience of our canal communities.”
