The National Trust for Historic Preservation and Home & Garden Television have teamed up to provide HGTV’s Restore America grants. The grants for up to $100,000 will be awarded for projects that include rehabilitation of single family residences, adaptive use of historic buildings for housing, creation of upper-floor apartments in Main Street communities, or restoration of Save America’s Treasures sites that continue to have residential use.
Six to 12 grants will be awarded.
To be considered for an HGTV Restore America grant, applicants must demonstrate the following: historic, architectural or cultural significance of the property; quality and creativity of the rehabilitation project; impact the project will have on the surrounding community; involvement of community volunteers; recognition of diverse communities or diverse aspects of American history; and the project’s ability to tell a story of interest to HGTV viewers.
Nonprofit organizations and public agencies are also invited to apply for a grant.
