The lion's share of American history is preserved and interpreted at the local level by dedicated individuals and organizations, committed to capturing, documenting and highlighting the stories of their communities. 4Culture's Heritage Projects funding program promotes the identification, documentation, exhibition and interpretation of historic and cultural materials pertaining to the heritage of King County. The program has produced outstanding videos, web sites, publications, oral histories, events and award-winning exhibits.

Heritage Projects is open to both organizations and individuals. Seventy-three proposals for funding were received in 2012. A total of $177,209 was awarded to 33 projects. Awards ranged from $1,462 to $9,990. Funding for this program is derived from a portion of King County lodging tax revenues.

Note: Beginning in 2013, proposals which previously would have qualified for the Heritage Cultural Education program should now be submitted to Heritage Projects. Proposals for projects that focus on the care and preservation of historical collections should be submitted to 4Culture's Heritage Collections Care program.
