Current Funding Opportunities
We can help you fund your project.
Preservation Connecticut’s grant, loan, and tax credit assistance programs fund essential preservation activities, from planning and maintenance and repair to full-scale rehabilitation of historic resources. Since 2003, we have helped distribute over $6.8 million in matching grants to local governments, nonprofit organizations, and private property owners. See our recent grant recipients. Grants and other investments in preservation have created jobs, spurred on real estate development, and put more money into families’ pockets than new construction.

Tax Credit Assistance for Developers
We partner with developers utilizing Connecticut state historic tax credits. Call Circuit Rider, Brad Schide to understand how we can add value to your project.
A transaction may be structured to ensure that Preservation Connecticut receives the voucher (or accept as a donation) from State Historic Preservation Office (or developer) at the end of the construction period, secures the funding from Eversource in exchange for the voucher, and either lends or grants 100% of the proceeds to the owner/LP/GP/manager, or other such mechanism that your tax counsel requires. In this way, Preservation Connecticut ensures that the developer receives the full value of federal and state tax credits.
We offer a variety of funding options throughout the year or can navigate you to other sources. Contact me to learn more.
