Apply for up to $500,000 in Grants from the National Fund for Sacred Places!

Historic houses of worship are more than architectural treasures—they are vital centers of congregational life and community anchors. These sacred places often provide essential resources such as meals, education, cultural enrichment, and refuge. They exemplify the power places have to unite communities.

From small rural churches to urban synagogues, these buildings serve as places of worship and sources of connection and inspiration. Together, we can preserve them for generations to come.

Since its inception, the National Fund has awarded $33M+ to 168 congregations across 45 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico! Do you know of a sacred place in your community that could be part of this year’s cohort?

A program of @PartnersforSacredPlaces in collaboration with @NationalTrustforHistoricPreservation and funded by Lilly Endowment Inc., the National Fund provides training, planning grants, technical assistance, capacity-building support, and capital grants to historic houses of worship across America.

Applications are due March 3, 2026.
