MotorCities National Heritage Area is dedicated to preserving, interpreting and promoting the automotive and labor heritage of the State of Michigan. Encompassing 10,000 square miles in southeastern and central Michigan, our region has been the center of automotive invention and production for over a century. We are proud to announce the launch of our 2013 Challenge Cost Share grant program. In difficult times, we must all commit ourselves to pooling resources and empowering our region.

Challenge Cost Share Program provides up to 20% match for projects with a larger scope. Projects can be phased over multiple years with a more complex funding strategy. Applicants must become active members of MotorCities National Heritage Area and  maintain membership for the duration of the grant award period.
