Grants

The Rhode Island Historical Preservation & Heritage Commission operates two grant programs.

State Preservation Grants provide funds for capital preservation projects for museums, cultural art centers, and public historic sites located in historic structures. Eligible applicants include non-profit organizations, state and local government agencies, and Indian tribes recognized by the Secretary of the Interior.

Certified Local Government Grants are available for communities with Historic District Zoning. Eligible projects include identification and evaluation of significant historic and archaeological properties, the nomination of eligible properties to the National Register of Historic Places, historic preservation plans and certain education-related activities.

Other grant sources are available for Rhode Island projects as well.
