National Trust Preservation Fund
NTPF grant and the due date is February 1st: https://forum.savingplaces.org/build/funding/grant-seekers/preservation-funds
I received some additional information regarding the grant from Melvena Heisch -
There is a pool of money just for Oklahoma and the Trust has not received many applications.  The rules for the program were revised so that it's easier to apply.  For example, donated service can now be used as a match and applicants do not have to be National Trust Forum members to apply.  Just about any planning or education program can qualify, as long as it relates to historic properties and appropriate preservation.

The next deadline is February 1, but there are deadlines on June 1 and October 1 too.  The Oklahoma fund has been available for many years, and the Trust has always had difficulty generating applications.  Grants range from about $2,500 - $5,000 and require a 50/50 match.  Trust staff can be reached at grants at savingplaces.org<mailto:grants at savingplaces.org>.  They are happy to discuss project ideas and review budgets before an application is submitted.
