Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant Program in FY26
In recent years, funding totaling $300,000 has been distributed from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority Financing Fund to support MHT's Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant Program. At its July 10, 2025 meeting, the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority will consider whether to allocate funding for a new round. If funding is not allocated, MHT's Historic Preservation Non-Capital Grant Program will remain closed until alternative sources of funding can be identified to support the program.
