Essex National Heritage Area
Essex Heritage 2012 Annual Appeal
Your support ensures the tradition of regional leadership and program excellence that is the hallmark of the Essex National Heritage Commission will continue for years to come... Donate Online.

We are strong because of your support!  The Essex National Heritage Commission works to sustain the cultural, historic and natural resources of this region. 

Today, we are asking for you to support our Annual Appeal so we can continue our work.  Your contributions support our mission, and enable us to bring money into this region by obtaining grant funding from national organizations such as the National Park Foundation, the National Park Service and the Federal Highways Byway program – which increasingly require evidence of private matching funds.

Your gift this year to our Annual Appeal is crucial to help us fulfill our 2013 goals of increasing our Youth Jobs Corps program, continuing to offer Trails & Sails for free to more than 4,000 people, and to connect towns and cities together to strengthen and grow partnership projects that sustain our region.

With your help, Essex Heritage can continue to work to ensure that our region remains strong and vibrant. We look forward to an exciting year together.

Sincerely,
