Summary
Preservation support protects places, collections, landscapes, and stories that reflect Black history nationally. Funds can be used for restoration and capital work, planning, interpretation, programming, archival care, organizational capacity, stewardship plans, and preservation guidance. Projects strengthen historic sites as community resources, expand understanding of history, and help ensure cultural assets remain accessible to future generations.
Eligible recipients can include nonprofits, museums, schools, colleges, descendant- or family-led groups, and stewards of significant places. Priority goes to work that safeguards structures and cultural materials while honoring the people and communities connected to them. Certain opportunities focus on congregations, campuses, modern architecture, or sites managed by descendants. Strong proposals explain the significance of the place, preservation need, proposed activities, community involvement, and expected lasting public benefit. Applicants should demonstrate readiness to manage the project and sustain results. Requirements differ by program, so recipients should confirm which funding option best matches their preservation goals.
