Georgia Trust Offers Grant To Rehab Historic Sites

ATLANTA, GA -- Nonprofit or government organizations thinking of rehabbing a historic property in Georgia may qualify for up to $10,000, courtesy of the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation. The trust is accepting applications for its new Callahan Incentive Grant, which will give funds to groups undertaking the rehabilitation of a historic building or site anywhere in the state.

The grant, named after longtime Georgia Trust supporters Barbara and Les Callahan, has a postmark deadline set for postmark Friday, July 21.

To be eligible, sites must be listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Grants also will require a dollar-for-dollar match, either in cash or volunteer work hours.

Recipients of the grants will be announced at the Georgia Trust's "Places in Peril" announcement in November, the organization said.

For more information or to download an application, visit GeorgiaTrust.org or contact the Trust at 404-885-7817 or nnickels@georgiatrust.org. Applications must be postmarked or e-mailed no later than Friday, July 21.
