Evaluation Criteria
- Arkansas Heritage Grants come from a limited funding source, so not every applicant can be funded. Since that is the case, certain criteria have been established for making Arkansas Heritage Grants to include:
- Your organization’s relationship to your local community.
- The local or statewide impact of the project.
- Whether the program results in an ongoing or lasting component.
- The degree to which the project shows collaboration and cooperation among community organizations.
- The degree to which the project will foster heritage tourism development.
- Your organization’s mission and sources of income.
