Georgia Trust & 1772 Foundation
There's a new funding opportunity for historic preservation in Georgia. Thanks to a generous grant from the 1772 Foundation, the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation will be awarding matching grants for exterior rehabilitation of historic buildings up to $10,000.
Full information about the program can be found here: https://www.georgiatrust.org/resources/grants-fellowships/
A 501(c)3 organization must own the building or have an approved fiscal agent agreement in place. Unfortunately, buildings currently in use as schools or churches are not eligible for this grant.
The Georgia Trust is asking for any interested parties to submit a Letter of Inquiry by December 1, 2022. Invited applicants will submit a full application package in early 2023.
I encourage you all to consider specific projects that you may have, but also ask that you share this opportunity with anyone in your communities and networks that could benefit. We hope to have a strong diversity in geography and resources to fund.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or to pass my contact info along to others who may have interest in the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Ben
