The Vermont Historical Society (VHS) is partnering with the Lost Mural Project to award 5 Community Immigration History Grants, each in the amount of $500. A Lost Mural Project grant recipient must focus on the history of immigration at the local or state level.

Projects can include activities such as exhibits, publications, talks/presentations, videos, oral histories, student projects, digital collections, etc.

Nonprofit organizations or municipalities in Vermont are eligible to apply. Applications for the 2025-2026 grants are currently under review, with the application open until all grants have been awarded.

Congratulations to the Integrated Arts Academy in Burlington, recipient of our first Community Immigration History Grants. IAA will undertake an artist residency and the creation of a mural which integrates the people, plants, and animals of Vermont alongside those that represent the diverse roots of community members in Burlington's Old North End, a neighborhood with a long history as a space for Vermont immigrants to create community.
