Sacred Sites | New York Landmarks Conservancy The New York Landmarks Conservancy’s Sacred Sites Program provides congregations throughout New York State with matching grants for planning and implementing exterior restoration projects and provides technical assistance and workshops. Since 1986, the program has pledged over 1,700 grants totaling over $14.
75 million to more than 880 religious institutions statewide, helping fund over $820 million in repair and restoration projects. Grants are awarded to assist with projects such as conditions surveys, architectural and engineering fees, roof replacements, masonry restoration, stained-glass restoration, and structural repairs. Priority will be given to essential repairs to the primary worship building.
Grants are not available for ADA/barrier-free access design or construction, pipe organ restoration, interior renovation, mechanical/electrical/plumbing upgrades, or routine maintenance, including exterior repainting. The Robert David Lion Gardiner Foundation generously supports our grant activities on Long Island. Since partnering with the Foundation in 2018, our grants to Long Island Sacred Sites have more than tripled.
