Description
The 1772 Foundation, in cooperation with The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, provides matching grants for historic preservation projects across Georgia. The program emphasizes exterior rehabilitation and protective systems, supporting work that repairs historic building fabric and protects resources from fire, lightning, and security risks.
A new climate action pilot expands support to energy assessments and improvements, including insulation, alternative energy sources, efficient equipment, and storm windows. The program also addresses historic-site sustainability through condition assessments, restoration plans, and stewardship plans. Where an appropriate plan does not exist, the Foundation may consider supporting its development on a case-by-case basis.
