Description
The Callahan Incentive Grant is administered by The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation and made possible by support from Barbara and Les Callahan. It funds capital, “bricks and mortar” improvements to historic sites in Georgia, emphasizing physical work that contributes significantly toward full rehabilitation or restoration.
The program prioritizes projects with significant community impact and broad support from community organizations, community leaders, and individuals. Projects should also demonstrate a sustainable plan for long-term use and maintenance, including economic self-sufficiency to the extent possible. The grant connects physical preservation work with community support and the ongoing stewardship of Georgia’s historic places.
