Grants

Funding the irreplaceable.

Stained glass restoration, architectural stabilization, and cultural stewardship require resources that exceed what any single congregation, family, or local community can shoulder alone.

Why Grants

Capital, deployed where craft meets conservation.

One core way our 501(c)(3) carries out its mission is by providing grants and financial support for preservation projects.

A typical preservation project — a single Tiffany window re-leaded, a brick tower stabilized, a sanctuary roof replaced — runs into the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Most are quiet undertakings carried by local volunteers, congregations, and small heritage trusts whose annual fundraising could never close that gap on its own.

Our grant program is intended to bridge that distance: targeted, vetted financial support for projects of significant artistic and historic merit, regardless of where the property sits or who is shepherding it through.

We are building a transparent, equitable application process. When it opens, every step will be published here.

In Preparation

Application — forthcoming.

Our grant application is in development. Once it launches, you will be able to submit your project for consideration directly here. In the meantime — write. Tell us what you are working on. We would like to know.
