Description
The 1772 Foundation, in cooperation with The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, provides matching grants for historic preservation projects in Georgia. The program supports exterior rehabilitation, including painting and surface restoration, repairs to historic building components, and installation or upgrades of fire detection, lightning protection, and security systems.
