The National Fund for Sacred Places, a program of Partners for Sacred Places in collaboration with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, is pleased to announce its 2024 grantees. Twenty-four historically significant faith communities have been admitted into the program, which provides capital grants of up to $500,000 and hands-on technical assistance to congregations undertaking substantial preservation projects.

The National Fund for Sacred Places is a one-of-a-kind program that offers support to congregations preserving historic and architecturally significant houses of worship. Since its inception, the National Fund has awarded or pledged over $26 million to 138 community-serving congregations representing 26 faith traditions across 42 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. A recent gift of an additional $24 million in funding from Lilly Endowment Inc. will allow the National Fund to more than double its impact over the next 5 years.
