Any idea on NRHS Heritage Grants???

Has anybody heard anything on the NRHS grants for this year?

The website says they were announced on August 14, 2009 during the Board of the directors meeting, which ended about nine hours ago (at least). It also says that results will be posted on the website immediately when announced and available.

Calls and emails to the NRHS this afternoon were not returned.

Of course, it also has information for 2008 up on the site.

Thanks in advance,

Matt Bumgarner

Funding for the NRHS Grants Program comes only from donations made to NRHS and not from members dues.

Many recent issues of NRHS News have contained articles about the results of recent NRHS grants.
