The Heritage Professional Development Stipend program provides stipends ranging from $100 to $1,500 for heritage practitioners in King County to participate in a professional development or career maintenance opportunity. This stipend can be used by individuals seeking to build skills needed to thrive in the heritage field or King County-based heritage organizations to provide a training for their staff, board members, and volunteers. These professional development opportunities must address a field-wide need.
This grant may be used for:

These opportunities can take many forms including, but not limited to, conferences, workshops, technical assistance programs, training opportunities, demonstrations, and healing opportunities especially for heritage practitioners engaged with social justice work within the field.
- Purchase materials and consumable supplies for your presentation, if you are a presenter at the professional development opportunity to which you are attending.
- Pay for professional consultants, heritage specialists, or staff time if work on the project is outside their regular work duties and the payment is structured as contractor fees, materials and consumable supplies, transportation, and documentation services to provide a professional development for organization staff, board, and volunteers.
