Douglas County Heritage Council funds niche grants
Stanley says she does not evaluate or select recipients but helps applicants strengthen proposals and implement funded work. The council faced a funding gap and prioritized sustainable, underrepresented projects including a Ballard Center and Somes Lawrence collaboration for Day of the Dead and Day of Spring celebrations. A Prairie Park restoration and a Haskell Institute letters project received substantial grants while many requests remained unmet.
