Grants & Support
Since 1998, the LHC has provided over 250 grants totaling more than $448,000 to
not-for-profit organizations doing work consistent with the Centre's mission and values. This ongoing legacy has benefited more than 100 different organizations worldwide. The Centre continues to offer this support and reviews grant proposals twice yearly. Here is a sample of LHC grants issued in recent years.
Beginning in 2021, it is a policy of the LHC to identify and initiate grants to underserved or marginalized community organizations (must be 501C3) whose mission aligns with the LHC’s in some way (Education, Theatre, History, Youth) in an amount equal to at least 20% of the total granted to applicants in each calendar year.​
​
The Living History Centre Fund is administrated by the Marin Community Foundation.
To learn more about donations to the fund, including bequests, please email info@livinghistorycentre.org for details. You may also reach out to the LHC fund administrator at MCF.
