Launched in September, 2012, The Landmark Society’s Preservation Grant Fund program offers funds for preliminary design and planning studies to help make positive improvements to at-risk buildings. The program was initially funded through a bequest from Elizabeth (Libby) Stewart. Libby was a longtime Landmark Society staff member who was dedicated to the revitalization of neighborhoods and historic structures.

The Preservation Grant Fund provides initial “start up” funding to assist in saving historic resources and will not pay for any “bricks and mortar” work. Only pre-construction services are eligible for funding. Specific use of funds is flexible. Examples of eligible projects include: code compliance studies, construction estimates, visual project renderings, measured drawings, and cost comparisons.

Contact Caitlin Meives at cmeives@landmark.layer8group.com to determine if your project is eligible for this program.
