Northwest Heritage Resources was very
fortunate to receive funding provided by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 that was awarded as a grant from the National
Endowment for the Arts. This funding has helped to support traditional
artists who perform for Washington State Parks & Recreation Commission’s
Folk & Traditional Arts in the Parks Program, and to maintain
the position of Executive Director at Northwest Heritage Resources
for 2009-2010. |

The Folk & Traditional Arts Program
at the National Endowment for the Arts funded our 2009-10 project,
Cascade Loop Heritage Tour – South, and our 2008-09
project, Native
American Stories of Washington. For more about these projects

The NEA has also provided Traditional Arts Infrastructure funding
- through the Washington State Arts Commission - for critical organizational
support for Northwest Heritage Resources in 2007-2010. |
