Preserving Black Churches grants ranging from $50,000 to $500,000 are intended to preserve historic Black houses of worship (those with active congregations or that are being repurposed for new uses within the community) and advance preservation activities including capital projects, programming and interpretation, capacity building, and project planning.
This funding has had a transformative impact for grantees, strengthening the capacity of historic congregations, preservation organizations, and community groups to better steward, manage, and use their historic structures.
