The Des Moines Concours d’Elegance has announced the creation of the Des Moines Concours Automotive Heritage Grant, a new program aimed at supporting high school automotive education across Iowa through funding for tools, equipment, training and student projects. The grant will be administered by the Iowa Automotive Heritage Foundation. The program is launching with an initial $10,000 contribution from the Red Flag Horseless Carriage Tour of Iowa, which recently ended operations and directed its remaining funds to the effort. “We see this as a great way to build up the next generation of experts, restorers, technicians and enthusiasts. The grant is a way for us to give back to the automotive enthusiast community,” Peter Hemken, president of the Iowa Automotive Heritage Foundation, said in a news release.
