The State Historic Preservation Office, part of the Tennessee Historical Commission, is now accepting applications for grants from the Federal Historic Preservation Fund. This application period runs from December 1, 2024, through February 1, 2025. Under this program, successful applicants can receive reimbursement for 60% of their project expenses, while they are required to provide a 40% match in funding.
In the previous grant cycle, a total of 21 matching grants were awarded, amounting to over $800,000, aimed at supporting the preservation of the state’s historic and archaeological sites. These grants were distributed to a variety of recipients, including non-profit organizations, municipalities, universities, and civic groups. The selection process prioritizes projects that offer benefits to the public, ensuring that the funds are utilized for the greater good.
Applications will be categorized into two distinct groups: those focused on planning or restoration and those aimed at survey work. The planning or restoration category encompasses initiatives such as surveying historic resources, nominating sites for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, and assisting local communities in developing preservation plans or design guidelines. This structured approach aims to enhance the preservation efforts across Tennessee, safeguarding its rich historical heritage for future generations.
