Historic Hawai‘i Foundation has announced a new preservation grant program for historic residential or commercial building improvements. Through a grant from the Hawai`i Community Foundation’s Historic Preserves of Hawai`i Fund, HHF is able to distribute four grants of $1500 to homeowners or non-profit organizations.
“We realize that private owners of historic homes and non-profit organizations are at a disadvantage in obtaining any grant money for building improvements; yet these are the people in our community who are doing actual preservation work and helping to maintain the character of our neighborhoods,” said Kiersten Faulkner, HHF’s executive director. “Although these grants are small, this in an opportunity for us to support their preservation efforts and offer them some encouragement.”
Grants will be awarded for restoration or rehabilitation work for stabilization, windows and entryways or exterior finishes. To be eligible, buildings must be listed on the National or State Register of Historic Places, either as individual structures or as a contributing building in a district. For other eligibility and program requirements, please see the attached guidelines and application information.
