Historic Places Grant Program
A Pilot Program of the City of Sacramento and Sacramento Heritage
The Historic Places Grant Program was created by Sacramento Heritage and the City’s Office
of Historic Preservation and approved by the City Council in 2007. The program funds the
preservation of historic properties, residential and commercial structures in historic
districts, and other historic sites throughout the City of Sacramento. Repairing a historic
structure’s deteriorated roof, walls, foundation and other key components can stabilize the
building, prevent weather-related and other damage, and extend the building’s lifespan. Following
repairs, a well cared-for historic building can continue to be an important part of Sacramento’s
collection of unique older structures.
In 2009, the City of Sacramento and Sacramento
Heritage completed Round 4 of the Historic Places
Grant Program, which is a pilot program the City
Council seeded with $250,000 in grant
funds. The Historic Places Grant Program provides
grants from $1,000 to $24,999. Grants require a 1:1
match and are awarded on a reimbursement basis.
Work for which the grants are requested must meet the following conditions:
Sacramento Heritage and the City of Sacramento continue to explore additional funds and funding
sources in order to maintain this grant program.
Sac Heritage Calendar Program
A Developing Project of Sacramento Heritage
Sacramento Heritage is studying the feasibility of developing a calendar that will feature
photographs of historic structures in Sacramento. Photographs will be drawn from the H Sac
ritage Photo Gallery described above. If the program is feasible, we hope to have 2011 calendars
available for purchase in the fall of 2010. To do justice to the photos to be featured, the
calendars will be of high quality and will sell for approximately $25 each. Stay tuned to this
webpage for future updates. If you think you may be interested in purchasing a calendar, please
