Board backs lengthening heritage project awards to two years to give NGOs more time
Summary
The advisory board supported Commission General Regulation 5.23 to allow heritage project awards to span two years with possible extension, a change intended to give NGOs more time to implement projects when fundraising or scheduling prevents completion in a single year.
The board discussed proposed revisions to the heritage program (Commission General Regulation 5.23) that would allow heritage project awards to run two years with the possibility of extension. Members said some NGOs struggle to execute projects within a single year because of fundraising and scheduling, and that additional flexibility would make it easier to complete funded work.
A motion to support the regulation passed unanimously during this meeting; board members said the Heritage Fund currently has healthy balances and the change would let groups hold tags or funds into a subsequent year when necessary.
