Individuals and for-profit businesses may apply only if the project involves a National Historic Landmark. Programs of the National Trust are also eligible to apply.
Applicants must be capable of matching the grant amount dollar-for-dollar. Grants are awarded for planning activities and education efforts focused on preservation.
