The National Trust for Historic Preservation has a Grant Program for legacy businesses, non-profits, and public agencies OPEN NOW! Grants will generally not exceed $10k and can be used for a variety of projects, including capital improvements, planning, and marketing. Locations can be on or near Route 66, provided they can illustrate a connection to the road’s history. Is a match required? No match is required for either the non-profit/public agency grant or the legacy business grant. However, please count any matched dollars or in-kind donations to make your application stronger! What projects are eligible? Previous funded projects include HVAC, window restoration, exterior and interior paint, signage, historic interpretation, lesson plans, multimedia and film projects, and structural repair. What is a Legacy Business? Small, independently owned businesses that have been operated for many years and contribute to Route 66's history and culture. New businesses helping to revitalize an underutilized Route 66 historic building are also eligible. The current round is open for applications from August 4 until September 30; check out their website or contact the National Trust with any questions. Rhys Martin, manager of the Preserve Route 66 program, has been involved in the greater Route 66 community in a variety of roles since 2015.
