CLG Grant Program

Each year, at least 10% of KHC’s federal Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) goes to CLGs for a variety of preservation projects, educational activities, studies, and updating documentation. Demonstrating the partnership between each governmental level and emphasizing that preservation decisions are best made locally.

The CLG Grant Program is a 60/40 matching grant and funding is only for projects defined as eligible by the HPF Grants Manual (Historic Preservation Fund Grant Manual - Historic Preservation Fund (U.S. National Park Service)). Awards are competitive and applications will be scored based on the proposed project’s contribution to Kentucky’s Preservation Plan.

FY2026 Grant Applications will be opening soon.

CLGs may apply for multiple grants, partner together on an application, and team with local nonprofits to meet the match. We request that you submit a separate application, including a separate budget, for each project you wish to complete.

Carefully read through the Grant Application Packet, starting with the Grant Application Instructions, for guidance on completing and submitting your application.

Submit your completed grant application.
