Hart Family Fund for Small Towns

Do you need support for your preservation project? Do you live in a town of 10,000 or less? The National Trust is now accepting applications for the Hart Family Fund for Small Towns.

 

It offers funding to small towns with populations under 10,000.

I have included a list of those towns in who may apply.

All the best.
