Historic Home Renovation Grants

Historic homes educate us about past architectural techniques, give us insight into how to put building materials to use and help us understand how people lived in another era. These homes are expensive to keep up, however. Plumbing and wiring often need to be replaced. Foundations and upper floors often need extensive repair, and to do all of this without damaging fragile interior details can be very difficult. Many historically valuable structures fall into disrepair because the owners cannot afford to update and maintain them. The National Trust for Historic Preservation administers several grant programs that can assist with the cost of renovating an historic home.

  1. Johanna Favrot Fund for Historic Preservation

    • The Johanna Favrot Fund for Historic Preservation offers matching grants for preservation and renovation of historic buildings. The grants are for projects that seek to "recapture an authentic sense of place." Although these grants are primarily aimed at non-profit organizations and public agencies, individuals are welcome to apply if their project involves a nationally recognized historic landmark. Grants range from $2,500 to $10,000 and can be put toward professional construction and consulting services, as well as educational materials about the property.

    Preservation Services Fund Grants

    • These matching grants range from $500 to $5,000 and are to assist with the cost of preserving historic structures and homes and developing educational materials about the project. Funds can be used for services related to authentic preservation such as hiring consultants to plan a project properly. There are two opportunities to apply for these grants each year.
