2024 Historic Preservation Grants

The Maine Historic Preservation Commission is pleased to announce the opening of a second 2024 Historic Preservation grant round. The Commission anticipates awarding approximately $100,000 in matching grants for Historic Preservation projects sponsored by Certified Local Governments (CLGs) and non-profit organizations, units of government, educational entities, and state agencies. Eligible projects include architectural or archaeological survey, public education, preservation planning, National Register nominations, or development or pre-development projects. The minimum grant award is normally $10,000 and all grant funds require a minimum 25% non-federal match. Eligible historic buildings and sites for development and pre-development projects are those that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places either individually or as contributing resources in a National Register-listed historic district. Projects must be directed by persons with professional credentials as defined by the Department of the Interior.
