tion are approaching on June 1st!
We have the following grant program available for projects in Wisconsin. P
lease note that these funds are for planning grants. The costs associated w
ith actual "bricks and mortar" restoration of a structure would not be fund

lify for our grants programs.

t the Wisconsin Field Office or the Midwest Office to discuss your potentia
l project and obtain assistance with the application process. We strongly e
ncourage applicants to work with our offices and submit drafts of their app
lications for review and comment in advance of the deadline.
