Hello Main Street,



I wanted you to know that the grant program, Backing Historic Small Restaurants<https://savingplaces.org/historicrestaurants> - presented by American Express in partnership with the National Trust for Historic Preservation - is back for another round and now accepting applications.  The deadline for submissions is Monday, April 4 at 11:59 p.m. EST.  Program information and link to the application can be found here:

For this grant program, we need your help to identify iconic restaurants located in historic buildings that are anchors of their historic neighborhoods! 25 small restaurants will receive $40,000 in grant funds.


Grant Selection Criteria for Eligible U.S. Small Historic Restaurants:

  *   Have operated and contributed to the neighborhood's history and/or identity for at least 25 years.
  *   Are a small/independently owned restaurant located in a historic building and/or historic neighborhood.
  *   Have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and/or disasters, or other hardships.
  *   Tells a diverse story about cuisine and community in America.



These grant funds can be used for "sprucing up" the exteriors of the restaurants as well as general operations support for these important community anchors.



Have a good day,

Buffy
