Fall Deadwood Fund Grants Available

Fall Deadwood Fund Grant Applications Available

PIERRE, SD - Applications for the next round of the Deadwood Fund grant program through the South Dakota State Historical Society are now available. Applications should be postmarked no later than Oct. 1 for work beginning no sooner than Jan. 1.

South Dakota Historic Preservation Director Ted Spencer says the grant program is designed to encourage largescale restoration or rehabilitation of historic properties by individuals, organizations, or public agencies.

Grants will be awarded in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $25,000. The grant amount must be matched on a dollar-for-dollar basis from nonfederal and non-state sources. Nonprofit organizations will be allowed to use in-kind services for one-half of their match.

Last year, the program awarded a total of $151,050 among 11 projects which had matching funds of $434,547.91. The resulting total public-private investment was $585,597.91.

Funding for the program is from Deadwood gaming revenue earmarked by state law for historic preservation projects throughout the state and distributed by the State Historical Society.

Grant forms are available online at https://history.sd.gov/ preservation/fundingopportunities.aspx.

The next round of applications will be due Feb. 1, 2023.
