The 1772 Foundation, in cooperation with the National Preservation Partners Network, announces the availability of grant funding for historic properties redevelopment programs (HPRPs). Also known as revolving funds, HPRPs are enterprising programs that use traditional real estate tools (options, purchase/resale, easements, tax credits, etc.) to protect endangered properties. To be eligible to apply for a grant, an organization must have a 501(c)(3) IRS designation. Most grants are in the $50,000 to $75,000 range. The grant maximum is $250,000.

The 1772 Foundation announces the opening of the application period for its Stewart Barney Kean (SBK) one-for-one matching grants of up to $10,000 for historic preservation projects. Private nonprofit organizations maintaining historic sites in one of the six New England states or Georgia can apply for funds to support preservation work. These grants are available through The 1772 Foundation’s state partner organizations.
