The Capital Historic Preservation Grant Program
 The Historic Preservation Grant Fund was created by the General Assembly in 1976 as a vehicle to encourage the preservation of historic properties statewide.
In 1989, the program was streamlined and expanded to include both Capital and Non-Capital projects. Capital Grant monies are available to non-profit organizations, local jurisdictions, business entities and individual citizens committed to preserving their historic resources. Grant funding is offered to assist your efforts to acquire, rehabilitate or restore eligible projects, i.e., properties listed on, or eligible for listing on, the National Register of Historic Places (view the most recent list of Capital Grants). Capital Grants are not available for private residences (please see the Historic Preservation Loan Program and the Rehabilitation Tax Credit Program for possible assistance). Grant awards are limited to $50,000.00 per year, per project. There is, however, no limit on the number of times application may be made. Projects are evaluated competitively, based on the Trust's “Open Project Selection Criteria,” and awards are made on an annual cycle. Successful applicants must convey to the Trust a perpetual historic preservation easement on the assisted property prior to their receipt of funds. For FY 2010 funding, draft applications must be post-marked by December 12, 2008, and final applications must be post-marked by March 27, 2009. Funds will become available at the start of the fiscal year on July 1, 2009. For an application or for more information, please see below or call Richard J. Brand, Administrator, or Claudette Sherman, Preservation Officer, at (410) 514-7628.
