1772 Foundation: Historic Properties Redevelopment Programs

Overview

Grants for Historic Properties Redevelopment Programs

The 1772 Foundation has announced that grant funding will be made available for historic properties redevelopment programs throughout the United States.

The maximum grant amount is $250,000. Typical grants have been in the $50,000-$75,000 range.(Feasibility studies typically range from $10,000-$20,000.)

A historic properties redevelopment program (revolving fund) is an active real estate-based program for protecting endangered properties using techniques such as: options, purchase/resale, easements and tax credits. These historic structures ultimately are returned to the private sector with deed restrictions in place. Any proceeds realized from transactions are "recycled" to sustain the proactive preservation efforts of the program. The goal of these programs is community redevelopment using historic preservation as a tool.

Funds will support real estate “revolving funds”, feasibility studies, real estate training, capital investments, and convenings. This program also emphasizes long-term programmatic sustainability and impact.
