Georgia Trust Opens Historic Preservation Grant Applications

Grant applications open

The Georgia Trust is accepting applications for historic preservation matching grants, opening a new application period for projects connected to preserving historic places in Georgia.

The program is described as a matching-grant opportunity. That means applicants are expected to pair grant funding with other support, although the grant announcement does not state the required match, award size or application deadline.

What applicants should check

People and organizations considering an application should review the Georgia Trust’s grant instructions before submitting materials. The instructions will determine who may apply, which preservation activities qualify and what documentation is required.

The announcement does not identify the number of grants available or explain how applications will be evaluated. Those details, along with the submission deadline, are part of the application information applicants will need to confirm.

Local relevance

Historic preservation grants can support work involving buildings, sites or other places with historic value. The announcement does not identify specific projects or communities receiving funding through this application period.

Lanier County residents interested in applying can follow the Lanier County News notice to the announcement from The Georgia Trust and review the application information there.
