The entire community benefits when the historic buildings, neighborhoods, and landscapes become a priority. Large and small, urban and rural—the Landmarks Capital program supports the bricks-and-mortar projects that contribute to the region’s identity. The organizations or individual owners who are working to rehabilitate the historic landmark property in King County are encouraged to apply for the program. Projects that center on underrepresented communities and that contribute to the diversity of property types and histories represented in King County’s built environment will receive additional consideration.
Criteria
For this particular grant, they will look to see how well your project shows the following:
- Quality: You have a long-term, sustainable plan for the landmark, and your project follows good preservation principles, as outlined in the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
- Public benefit: Your project will benefit residents and visitors of King County through the property’s visibility, accessibility, public programming, or economic impact, and/or will aid in the long-term preservation and use of the landmark.
- Equity: Your project will contribute to the diversity of property types and histories represented in King County’s built environment, and addresses underrepresented aspects of King County history. Your project is located in, led by, engages, or delivers economic benefits to underrepresented communities.
- Feasibility: You’re ready to begin the project within a year, with a prepared team, realistic budget, and credible cost estimates from experienced contractors, and you are able to complete the project on a reimbursement basis.
- Additional priorities: Your project addresses an urgent need, by preventing further damage or addressing critical life safety issues, or your project is not eligible for other 4Culture funding programs.
