The National Trust for Historic Preservation is now accepting applications for the Preserving Black Churches grant program. The application deadline is Wednesday, August 23, 2023, at 11:59 pm local time.
Preserving Black Churches is a project of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. According to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, annual grants from Preserving Black Churches are intended to go towards preserving “historic Black houses of worship – either with active congregations and non-active congregations – and advance ongoing preservation activities while strengthening capacity for historic congregations, and preservation and community organizations to steward, manage, and better utilize their historic structures.”
Grants range from $50,000 to $200,000 and applicants may apply for one of five categories: Capital Project, Endowment and Financial Sustainability, Organizational Capacity and Operations, Programming and Interpretation, or Project Planning.
