Landmarks Illinois has awarded a total of $17,000 in matching grants to support historic preservation efforts in six Illinois communities. Projects in Chicago, Jacksonville, Lockport, St. Charles and Wood Dale were awarded grants through the organization’s Preservation Heritage Fund. And, a preservation effort in Pike County at the former New Philadelphia site was awarded a grant through the Barbara C. and Thomas E. Donnelley II Preservation Fund for Illinois.
The grants range between $1,700 and $4,300 each and are awarded on a matching basis, requiring the recipient to raise funds equal or greater to the Landmarks Illinois grant amount. Landmarks Illinois grants are used to spark ongoing community support and fundraising efforts for the preservation of important local landmarks and architecturally, historically and/or culturally significant sites.
