A key purpose of the Long Beach Navy Memorial Heritage Association is to “foster and support the identification, evaluation, preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and interpretation of historical resources, sites and archival sources within the municipal boundaries of the City of Long Beach.” Historical resources may include buildings, public landscapes or contributing structures in historic neighborhoods.
To maximize its resources, the Association created a fund at the Long Beach Community Foundation (LBCF). Fund management and investment is accomplished through a partnership with the Greater Horizons Foundation, and LBCF staff provides support for the Association’s grantmaking activities.
Long Beach Navy Memorial Heritage Association (LBNMHA) exists to:
- preserve the heritage and historic sites of Long Beach,
- recognize the contributions of the Long Beach Naval Station and Shipyard to the City of Long Beach, and
- honor the work of architect Paul Revere Williams.
Priority is given to:
- Projects or buildings that provide public benefit and affect the public good for historic preservation and the heritage of Long Beach
- Projects that recognize the contributions of the Long Beach Naval Station and Shipyard to the City of Long Beach
- Projects that honor the work of architect Paul Revere Williams
- Projects that are visible and accessible to the public
- Projects that can be implemented within a one-year grant period
- Applicants with a demonstrated track record and commitment to historic preservation
- Applicants that can demonstrate additional resources to accomplish their work, as LBNMHA prefers not to be the sole funder of a project
