County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/03/2023
Size of the Grant: $10,000
Details:
The Delaware Preservation Fund provides financial assistance to owners of historic properties. Assistance is in the form of mini-grants and low interest, short term loans in support of restoration or acquisition.
Funding Information
Most grants range from $2,000 to $5,000. The maximum grant is $10,000. For grant requests over $5,000, the DPF must be satisfied the proposal and resource is of major significance, the resource will be at risk if the work is not carried out, the likely benefits well exceed the anticipated costs, and/or the work is unlikely to take place without the Fund’s assistance. Because funds are limited, projects are selected for their ability to make a significant difference for the small investment offered. As a rule, the DPF requires a minimum 50% match from the applicant. In-kind contributions may be credited towards the match.
Eligibility Criteria
- Corporations, partnerships, individuals, non-profit and religious organizations, and governmental entities within Delaware are all eligible to receive grants.
- Under new guidelines, the DPF is also accepting applications for non-capital projects including restoration planning projects, architectural/engineering studies, and contracting professional consultants to prepare National Register or local district nominations.
- Historic resources located in Delaware are eligible for a grant if they are either:
- On or determined eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places a contributing element to a National Register Historic District, or
- Determined by a county or local government to be locally significant
