The Kinsman Foundation is seeking applications for funding for Historic Preservation.
Donor Name: The Kinsman Foundation
State: Oregon and Washington
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 08/01/2022
Size of the Grant: over $5,000
Details:
Historic preservation has been principal funding area since beginning. In 2006 the foundation identifies their primary interest in this area as architectural preservation — the preservation, rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction of historic buildings, structures and related sites. Most of the projects they fund involve buildings that are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as a contributing resource in an historic district.
The Foundation will continue to consider grants for historic preservation activities other than architectural preservation as a secondary interest.
Funding Information
Applications for Historic Preservation grants over $5,000 available. Inquiries for grants of less than $5,000 are processed throughout the year.
Eligibility Criteria
These grant policies are an informal summary of granting practices and procedures. They vary in importance, depending on the individual circumstances of each situation. Each, however, reflects the last few years of grantmaking:
- Grants are made only for activities benefiting Oregon and southern Washington.
- Grants are awarded only to tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations and government agencies. Only exceptional situations will result in a grant that requires us to exercise the expenditure responsibility procedures required by the IRS for some grants.
- Granting decisions are made by a consensus of Board of Directors without significant staff recommendation.
- There is some internal inconsistency over the question of operating support versus project support. Like many funders, we appreciate the unique results nonprofits can sometimes achieve through a special project or program. Yet they understand that often the most valuable support we can provide to organizations whose values, goals and work we admire is general or administrative support. Generally speaking, project support still is afforded a preference.
- Grants outside indicated areas of interest are initiated by the Foundation.
- No matching funds are required.
- There are no reapplication limits for either previous grantees or others.
- An educational component to a program will not enhance its likelihood of funding.
