State Grants | SC Department of Archives and History Historic Preservation State Grant Fund The purpose of the State Grant Fund is to support historic preservation projects that benefit local communities and the public through the physical repair and rehabilitation of South Carolina’s historic buildings.
Historic buildings, for the purposes of the grant, are buildings that are listed as a contributing resource in a National Register of Historic Places district, or listed individually in the National Register, or determined by the SHPO to be individually eligible for listing in the National Register. The historic building must be located in South Carolina.
The SCDAH awards grants in two categories: Planning Grants and Stabilization Grants . Applicants may submit an application for either one planning-related or one stabilization-related grant (not both) per funding cycle. Planning Grants are awarded to assist applicants in the development of conditions assessments and/or “bid-ready” plans and specifications that meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Reimbursable planning grants up to $50,000 will be awarded. No cash match is required. Stabilization Grants are awarded for “bid-ready projects” for the stabilization and weatherization of historic buildings.
Stabilization and weatherization, as a treatment, is the act or process of applying measures designed to reestablish the structural stability of an unsafe or deteriorated property and a weather resistant enclosure while maintaining the essential form as it exists at present. The stabilization and weatherization must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Reimbursable stabilization grants ranging from $40,000 to $200,000 will be awarded. A minimum of 20% cash match of the Total Project Cost is required. A protective covenant with SCDAH is required before the final reimbursement for stabilization grants.
Covenants vary depending upon award amount and begin with a minimum of 5 years. Existing covenants on the property with the SCDAH will be reviewed to determine if additional years may be required. Awarded funds are provided only as a reimbursement .
These grants are not direct awards. SCDAH contributes its share and repays the grant recipient for eligible expenses through a reimbursement process.
Applicants must document that they have a minimum of 50% of the Total Project Cost on-hand and designated specifically for the project and should be prepared to make whatever financial arrangements are necessary to ensure that project work is not delayed during the reimbursement process, which may take six (6) weeks. No work completed prior to the execution of the grant funding agreement will be eligible for reimbursement.
The State Grant Fund is a competitive grant program. Application does not guarantee award. Successful award one year does not guarantee award in future award years.
Grant awards are subject to the annual availability of funds from the State of South Carolina. Funding is based on the state fiscal year, July through June. Eligible Applicants are nonprofit organizations, local governments, and Federal or State recognized Native American tribes.
