Established by the America250 Mississippi Commission, this program aims to empower local organizations to honor their unique histories, foster a deeper understanding of Mississippi’s vital role in the American story, and inspire meaningful engagement with our shared heritage. By supporting public events and initiatives during the America250 semiquincentennial, the program seeks to create lasting legacies that will help future generations of Mississippians appreciate and celebrate the rich and diverse tapestry of our state’s past. All funded projects and programs must occur during 2026.
