Subject: NTHP Midwest Office - June 2011 Grant Alert - Wisconsin
Preservation Grant Deadline Approaching on June 1st!
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is now accepting applications
for two matching grant programs available for projects in Wisconsin (listed
below). If you are interested in applying for one of our grants, now is t
he time to contact the National Trust’s Wisconsin Field Office or the Mid
west Office to discuss your potential project and obtain assistance with th
e application process. We strongly encourage applicants to work with our of
fice and submit drafts of their applications for review and comment in adva
nce of the deadline.
Please note that these funds are for planning grants only - the costs assoc
iated with actual “bricks and mortar” restoration of a structure would
not be fundable. Applicants must be non-profit organizations or public age
ncies to qualify for our grants programs. Please also be aware that applica
nts for the Jeffris Heartland Fund are competing with a regional pool of ap
plicants, while competition for the Jeffris Family Preservation Fund is lim
ited to other projects within Wisconsin.
[cid:[cid:image002.jpg@01CC042E.3CB540A0]The Jeffris Family Preservation Fund fo
r Wisconsin provides nonprofit organizations and public agencies matching g
rants from $500 to $10,000 for preservation planning and education efforts.
Funds may be used to obtain professional expertise in areas such as archit
ecture, archeology, engineering, preservation planning, land-use planning,
fund raising, organizational development and law as well as preservation ed
ucation activities to educate the public. This fund is targeted toward proj
ects in small Wisconsin towns with a population under 10,000. Many organiz
ations have found that Preservation Funds provided the crucial boost to get
a project off the ground.The Jeffris Family Foundation Preservation Fund u
ses the Preservation Funds application<http://www.preservationnation.org/re
sources/find-funding/grants/pf/National-Trust-Preservation-Funds-Applicatio
n.doc>, available from the National Trust website.
The Jeffris Heartland Fund was established by the Jeffris Family Foundation
to support the development of important nationally significant historic pr
eservation projects in the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The fund makes grants in the range o
f $5,000 to $50,000 for Historic Structure Reports and other advanced plann
ing studies. Funds must be matched dollar-for-dollar with cash from sources
unrelated to the National Trust and the Jeffris Family Foundation. Establi
shed 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations or government agencies in partnersh
ip with a 501(c)(3) organization are eligible to apply. Applicants must be
able to demonstrate the viability of their project through the submittal o
f early planning studies, and must be ready for the preparation of a Histor
ic Structure Report, or other advanced planning studies, leading toward a c
ommunity-centered capital fund drive. Projects in communities with more th
an 150,000 in population are NOT eligible to apply. Priority will be given
to projects located outside of metropolitan areas. Visit the Midwest Offic
e website<http://www.preservationnation.org/about-us/regional-offices/midwe
