Preservation Austin is thrilled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its signature Grants Program, which supports the preservation and interpretation of the historic places that mean the most to our community. By providing funding for important projects citywide, the non-profit aims to financially support Austinites as they preserve our shared past.

Preservation Austin is proud to announce the return of its Grants Program, supporting the preservation and interpretation of Austin’s historic places. Established in 2016, the program has awarded $239,530 to 60 Austin-based preservation projects to date.

Preservation Austin’s Grants Program fuels essential projects across three categories: education, bricks and mortar, and planning/survey/historic designation. By providing funding to important projects citywide, we aim to financially support our fellow Austinites as they preserve our shared past.

Preservation Austin is proud to be able to provide the following worthy projects with grant funding: Lydia Street window restoration, Zeta Phi Beta window restoration, Palm Park Shelter House engineering, and the I-35 Capital Express Expansion documentation project.

This summer’s grantees care deeply for places and stories in Austin and these projects, all rooted in local communities, demonstrate the incredible preservation efforts happening all across our city.

Cheers to another incredible batch of worthy preservation projects across our city! Preservation Austin’s Winter 2023 grant cycle had the most applicants in the program’s history, with nearly $60,000 of funding requested.

Join us in celebrating the incredible work being performed at the Donley-Goode-Walton House, the Henry G. Madison Cabin, the Neill-Cochran House Museum, and Save Austin’s Cemeteries.
