The third critical component of the Heritage Education program is developing Partnerships between NCPTT/NPS and those interested in supporting Heritage Education.
Official Partnerships come in two important forms for Heritage Education:
- Resource and knowledge sharing. Some institutions have already made significant headway in the development of resource depth, while others have “corporate knowledge” of heritage education that is invaluable to the process of building an extensive heritage education program.
- Fiscal support. Grants, monetary donations, in-kind donations and other types of funding are vital to identify in order to develop Heritage Education programs to their fullest potential.
Partnerships with government, private enterprise and individual donors are all considered appropriate directions worth investigating.
