About the Heritage Preservation Grant

The Heritage Preservation Grant promotes tourism through historic preservation and inclusive projects about Austin’s history. All proposed project sites must have a historic designation or be eligible for a historic designation.

Four project types are eligible for grant funding:

1. Capital Projects: Restore, preserve, and promote tourism-serving historic sites and structures. Funding supports exterior restoration projects only.
2. Planning Projects: Secure property-specific professional planning expertise in areas such as preservation, architecture, engineering plans, historic designation nominations for historic tourism-serving sites or historic districts.
3. Experiential Educational Projects: Create experiences for tourists and residents to interact with historic places, events, or activities that authentically represent the stories and people of the past and present and enhance the understanding or perspective on heritage, culture, and history.
4. Marketing Projects: Connect and market heritage, particularly of underrepresented or under-interpreted histories, places, or events that encourage tourists and residents to connect and engage with stories associated with the site history and its heritage.

To attend VIRTUAL Open Office Hours dates and times can be found at Heritage Preservation Grant | AustinTexas.gov.
