FUNDING

NWA African American Heritage Association, Inc. received a grant from the Arkansas Humanities Council to help document and preserve Baldwin Cemetery in Washington County, Arkansas.

Since 2005 we have collaborated with the Arkansas Archeological Survey to map graves at a cost in funds and staff that the AAS has absorbed as part of their organizational mission.

Ron Herrington, licensed surveyor, has given generous support in survey work that could not be bought for the accuracy and attention to detail for which he strives.

The NWA-AAHA receives in-kind services from dozens of volunteers.

Legal services have been generously given by Seth Haines and colleagues of Friday, Eldridge & Clark.

The WH Taylor Law Firm has also given legal service.

Rotary Club of Fayetteville has generously supported a University of Arkansas student mentor with a stipend during the Fall 2009 semester. This UA student mentors Fayetteville High School youth at the Keystone Club of Donald W. Reynolds Boys & Girls Club of Fayetteville.
