The application period for Historic Preservation Fund Grants for the 2026 federal fiscal year is now open. Deadline to submit a pre-application is Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, at 5 p.m. local time. Pre-applications are required for all submissions.
The Historic Preservation Fund grants support projects that relate directly to protecting, rehabilitating or restoring historic properties. Certified local governments, county governmental entities, municipalities and qualified nonprofit organizations with a historic preservation mission are eligible to apply for these grants.
The department anticipates awarding approximately $400,000 in grants. Our grants can only support up to 60% of a project budget, with a 40% match required by the applicant. Per federal regulations, 10% of the funding will be reserved for Certified Local Governments in good standing. For more information, please review the Historic Preservation Fund Grants webpage.
