Community Heritage Preservation Grant Program

The Mississippi Historic Site Preservation Grant (Community Heritage Preservation Grant Program) is a grant from the Mississippi Department of Archives and History that funds preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, and interpretation of historic sites across Mississippi. The program focuses on courthouses and schools statewide, and in communities participating in the Certified Local Government (CLG) program, other historic buildings designated as Mississippi Landmarks are also eligible. Projects above $75,000 require a licensed architect. Eligible applicants include nonprofits, universities, and state or local governments in Mississippi. The program helps communities maintain historically significant structures that connect residents to their shared heritage.

Robert H. Spitz Foundation Grant is a grant from the Scranton Area Community Foundation that funds nonprofit organizations serving residents and animals in Lackawanna County and Northeastern Pennsylvania.
