Our history is what provides communities  with their cultural identity and sense of self. And yet in too many places we allow this history to be degraded or outright destroyed in the name of profit and convenience. There are many nonprofits out there that specialize in historic preservation. But it's only through the valuable donations from historic preservation grants that these nonprofits are able to pursue their important missions.

These historic preservation grants can be put towards a wide range of programs. These could include the repair of aging buildings, archival research, re-adoption of historic structures for modern use, and historical educational outreach, as well as advocacy.

These historical preservation rants can come from a wide range of sources. These could include federal programs through agencies such as the National Park Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Many state and local agencies also play a key role in historical preservation, as do many private and community foundations.

When drafting a historical preservation grant proposal, you need to have both a solid sense of costs and funding needs, as well as storytelling. You need to make it clear why the area or building you want to preserve is so important. Make sure to explain how the story of this place is the story of the greater community as well.
