Grant Overview
Target Outcomes for Historic Preservation in Virginia
The Grants to Support Program to Interpret and Preserve Historic Places, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to preserve and interpret historic places across Virginia that illuminate narratives of underrepresented groups. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) is a key state agency overseeing historic preservation efforts. A primary target outcome is the preservation of historic sites associated with the history of women, immigrants, and minority communities in Virginia, such as the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site, which honors the legacy of an African American entrepreneur and civil rights leader.
Priority Outcomes in Virginia's Historic Preservation Landscape
Virginia's historic preservation landscape is characterized by its rich cultural heritage and diverse historical narratives. The state's historic sites, such as those found in the Chesapeake Bay region, provide a window into the lives of underrepresented communities, including indigenous peoples and African Americans. The grant prioritizes outcomes that promote a more inclusive understanding of Virginia's history, including the preservation of sites associated with the Civil Rights Movement, women's suffrage, and immigration.
The state's frontier counties, such as those in the Appalachian region, also contain historic sites that are significant to the narrative of underrepresented communities. For instance, the preservation of historic sites related to the coal mining industry can provide insight into the lives of immigrant workers who contributed to Virginia's economic development. By prioritizing the preservation of these sites, the grant aims to promote a more nuanced understanding of Virginia's history and its relevance to contemporary social and economic issues.
Applicants for the grant should be aware that the funder, the Banking Institution, has a strong interest in supporting projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the state's historic preservation needs and priorities. To be successful, applicants must demonstrate how their project will contribute to the target outcomes, including the preservation of historic sites and the promotion of inclusive narratives.
Virginia applicants can access resources and guidance from the Virginia DHR, which provides technical assistance and support for historic preservation projects. The agency's expertise can help applicants develop projects that meet the grant's priority outcomes and align with the state's historic preservation goals.
In Richmond, VA, for example, the city government's historic preservation office works closely with community organizations to identify and preserve historic sites that are significant to the city's cultural heritage. Such collaborations can serve as a model for grant applicants seeking to develop projects that promote inclusive historic preservation practices.
