Summary
This grant opportunity provides funding support for projects aimed at preserving and elevating the cultural, architectural, and historical contributions of underrepresented communities. Funding is available to support initiatives that seek to protect culturally significant spaces, enhance public engagement, and encourage community-based conservation efforts. The program seeks to promote broader awareness and appreciation of heritage tied to historically marginalized voices and their contributions to the built environment.
Eligible applicants may include nonprofit organizations, community groups, and in some cases, qualified individuals or small businesses. The grant is available in select regions across the United States, with a focus on areas where culturally significant structures or communities face heightened threats due to neglect, development, or lack of resources. Projects may include physical preservation, interpretive programming, research, or capacity building related to historically important spaces.
The intent of the funding is to strengthen the visibility and resilience of historically important community landmarks, especially those with ties to 20th-century design, civic life, or social justice movements. Projects that involve partnerships with local residents, artists, or advocacy groups may receive stronger consideration. The funding also aims to stimulate collaboration between preservation professionals and grassroots initiatives.
Award amounts can vary depending on project scope, but funding generally supports planning, early-stage development, or direct preservation efforts. Applicants are encouraged to align their goals with values of inclusion, education, and long-term sustainability.
This opportunity reflects a growing interest in equity-based preservation and cultural stewardship. It supports efforts that seek to document and safeguard important places that have shaped the nation’s story in dynamic and often overlooked ways.
