Applications are now open for the National Fund for Sacred Places, a program of Partners for Sacred Places in collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The National Fund provides financial and technical support for community-serving historic houses of worship across America.
Now in its eleventh year, the National Fund for Sacred Places is the only nationwide program of its kind, providing financial and professional resources that support the health of congregations as they steward some of the nation’s most important and architecturally significant houses of worship.
Since its inception, the National Fund has awarded or pledged more than $33 million to 167 community-serving congregations representing 28 faith traditions across 45 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The National Fund provides planning grants, wrap-around training and technical assistance, plus capital grants ranging from $50,000 to $500,000.
The portal for applications is open through March 3. Prospective applicants are invited to an informational webinar on Thursday, Jan. 22, at 3 p.m. Eastern time.
The National Fund for Sacred Places is supported by Lilly Endowment Inc.
