Preservation Funds
The Southern Field Office administers a small pool of Preservation Funds in the region. Endowed Preservation Funds are available for Annapolis, MD and Washington, DC.
Preservation Fund grants may be used for planning projects or educational programs. To see if your project fits our guidelines, please review the application and information for the National Trust Preservation Funds.
Bartus Trew Providence Preservation Fund
For Maryland's Eastern Shore, the Southern Field Office has the Bartus Trew Providence Preservation Fund, a special grant program designated by the late Bartus Trew, a long-time resident of Chestertown. The Bartus Trew Fund differs from other Preservation Funds in that the grants may be used for capital costs. For more information, please download the application and guidelines here.

Jordan, MD Preservation Excellence Fund was established in November 1996 in recognition of Dr. Jordan's distinguished service to the National Trust and his visionary leadership of the national preservation movement. The endowed fund supports innovative projects and programs in Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.
