CUTHBERT — The 1772 Foundation, partnering with the Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation, awarded historic preservation one-for-one matching grants totaling $100,000 to 12 private nonprofit organizations maintaining historic sites in Georgia.
Four sites were previously included on the Georgia Trust’s list of most endangered historic places, Places in Peril. The grants ranged in amounts from $3,500 to the grant maximum of $10,000, with seven organizations receiving the latter amount. The 1772 Foundation’s past work with the Georgia Trust encouraged them to partner to bring the grant program to Georgia for the first time in 2023. Based on the success of the program and the positive impacts of these grants, The 1772 Foundation has committed to provide ongoing grant funding through 2025.
