Since 2001, LCHIP has proudly worked with community groups across New Hampshire to conserve and preserve New Hampshire's most important natural, cultural and historic resources. LCHIP offers financial assistance grants to the following program areas:
Preservation Planning Grants support the study of eligible historic resources.
Historic Rehabilitation Grants support the restoration or rehabilitation of eligible historic resources.
Natural Resource Acquisition Grants support the permanent protection of ecologically significant lands through acquisition of property or easement interests.
Eligibility
An organization applying for LCHIP funding must be either a municipality or other political subdivision of the state of New Hampshire, or be a publicly supported nonprofit corporation exempt from federal income tax under section 501 (c) of the Internal Revenue code.
