A Look Back at 2021 — Partner Grants Closed, Projects Completed

As we look back at 2021, we are proud of this long list of grant-funded projects, from both the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority (MHAA) and Four Rivers Mini-Grant funds, that were completed in 2021. Due to the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, some of this funding was provided for Emergency Operating costs, a departure from usual practices.
