759 Grants for Historical Preservation

Discover grants for historical preservation and cultural heritage conservation. Funding supports the restoration, maintenance, and protection of historic buildings, landmarks, and monuments. Additional grants fund the preservation of artefacts and archives, along with projects that promote historical awareness and history-focused education.

Preservation funders range from state historic preservation offices to family foundations focused on a single landmark, so sorting by location and funding source above narrows the field quickly. GrantWatch helps organizations manage the entire funding process, from grant prospecting to post-award reporting, with tools such as the Grant Prospecting Dashboard, Grant Funding Pipeline, GrantWatch Intelligence™, and the AI Grant Writing Tool - built for historical-significance narratives and multi-phase restoration projects.
