SAMPLE PORTRAYAL OF PARTNERSHIP
COMMITMENTS TO POTENTIAL NHA
Partnership commitments demonstrate, in large part, the capacity of the local participants to undertake and implement a future NHA. They may be agreements for working relationships, financial contributions, or pledges of other types of assistance. A sample way to portray commitments to the partnership is presented below:
| Organization |
Activity |
$ Commitment |
TA/Education Commitment |
| State Lands Agency And Nonprofit Land Trusts |
Land Acquisition and Trails Development in Heritage Area * |

|
|
| County Government |

|

*Land acquisition costs are not normally an authorized use of NHA federal funding authorizations, but can be undertaken to support the heritage area by others using non-NHA funds.
As in the case of the conceptual financial plan, specific commitments may be difficult to ascertain during the study. Indications of commitments to assist and work in partnership with the management entity by state and local governments and other organizations may be substituted for actual dollar or other specific contributions. The study team should, however, attempt to ascertain tangible commitments that partners are willing to contribute to the successful implementation of the heritage area.
