Belmont Trolley, Inc. is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $40,000 grant from The Cannon Foundation. This generous funding will help advance the construction of the Belmont Trolley facility in downtown Belmont, a space that will celebrate local history, inspire innovation, and foster community connections.
The Cannon Foundation’s mission is to support programs that promote healthcare, higher education, human services, and arts and culture. Belmont Trolley aligns with this mission by blending historic preservation with innovative programming to create educational, cultural, and economic opportunities for the Belmont community and beyond.
The future facility will house historic trolley cars, serve as a hub for STEM education programs, and host arts and cultural events, enhancing the region’s cultural landscape while preserving Belmont’s rich transportation history. This grant is a critical step toward fulfilling Belmont Trolley’s vision of creating a space where history, education, and the arts converge to benefit the entire community.
