501(c)(3) Fiscal Sponsorship Through Arts Alive
A fiscally sponsored public-history and visual preservation project documenting New Hampshire town centers through low-altitude aerial imaging, ground photography, archival storytelling, and public presentation.
Project Purpose
The Monadnock Aerial History Project began as a Monadnock-region preservation concept and now documents New Hampshire town centers, with a focus on the Monadnock region and surrounding historic communities.
Each deep-dive project can combine aerial footage, still photography, ground-level details, local history, public presentations, and a digital record that helps a community preserve how it looked and felt at a specific moment in time.
Fiscal Sponsorship
The Monadnock Aerial History Project is fiscally sponsored by Arts Alive, Inc. Through this relationship, Arts Alive can receive grants, donations, and other funds designated for the benefit of the project under its IRS §501(c)(3) determination.
Donations and project support for this preservation work will be coordinated through Arts Alive once the dedicated contribution pathway is finalized.
