Description
The African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, awards National Grant Program funding for projects connected to Black history across U.S. states and territories. The program aims to preserve, restore, interpret, and sustain historic resources significant to African American cultural heritage. An official historic designation is not required.
Its four project types support physical preservation of historic buildings and structures; a paid senior-level preservation position; assessments and implementable plans; and education, documentation, arts programming, and interpretation. Applicants select one project type rather than combining types in a single application.
