Now Accepting HRP Grant Applications

Deadline for the 2013 Cycle is Friday, November 30

Since 1997, the Historic Religious Properties Program has awarded 235 matching grants, totaling over $860,000, and 54 Technical Assistance Awards to religious congregations throughout Allegheny County. These grants have leveraged over $2.7 million in preservation and maintenance projects for historic religious structures.

Your congregation can apply if your religious property is 50 years old or more, located in Allegheny County, and in need of technical assistance or undertaking critical exterior repairs.

Grant applications are now being accepted for the 2013 grant cycle. These matching grants of up to $10,000 can be used to maintain and preserve your historic religious structure. Grant funds must be used for exterior work: roofing, gutter work, stained glass window restoration, masonry work, exterior painting, and wood restoration. If PHLF awards a grant, the congregation must have or be able to raise the matching funds.
