Deadlines for the 2009 grants from the National Trust for Historic
Preservation are approaching on February 1!
We have several matching grant programs available for projects in
Wisconsin, which are listed below. Please note that these funds are for
planning grants. The costs associated with actual "bricks and mortar"
restoration of a structure would not be fundable. Applicants must be
non-profit organizations or public agencies to qualify for our grants
programs. Applicants for the Johanna Favrot, Cynthia Woods Mitchell, and
Hart Family Funds are competing with a nationwide pool of applications,
while competition for the Jeffris Family Preservation Fund is limited
to other projects within Wisconsin only.
If you are interested in applying for one of our grants, now is the time
to contact the Wisconsin Field Office or the Midwest Office to discuss
your potential project and obtain assistance with the application
process. We strongly encourage applicants to work with our offices and
submit drafts of their applications for review and comment in advance of
the deadline.
