Description
The Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant Program, administered by the Maryland Historical Trust (MHT), provides funding for projects that document, study, plan for, and educate the public about Maryland’s historic, architectural, archaeological, and cultural resources. This grant program is specifically focused on non-capital (non-construction) activities, such as research, surveys, documentation, preservation planning, and educational outreach.
