Our Grants Save Maryland Treasures & Help Revitalize Historic Communities

by | Nov 13, 2020

When you donate to Preservation Maryland, you are donating to the heart of Maryland’s historic communities. Each year deserving community organizations are turned down for grant funds because of a lack of grant funds. Your gift can make the difference between – lost and saved.

 

State Heritage Fund Grant with Maryland Historical Trust

  • In 2020, our statewide Heritage Fund grant program distributed $96,100 in grants that leveraged $702,631 in total project costs.
  • We received 68 Heritage Fund grant applications and $659,669.96 in grant requests. If we were able to fund all projects, the much-needed investment would be nearly 3 Million dollars! ($2,720,250.57 to be exact). 
  • Preservation Maryland has administered the Heritage Fund program since 1997 and supported 430 projects in every corner of the state.
  • The 1.4 million in direct investment from the Heritage Fund program has gone on to leverage over $20million in public and private investment in our state’s history.
