| Preserving Oregon Grants |
|
The Oregon State Historic Preservation Office earmarks approximately $250,000 of Lottery Funds for its Preserving Oregon Grant Program every two years, after the State Legislature has approved the State Parks budget. These funds are to be used for rehabilitation work that supports the preservation of historic resources listed on the National Register of Historic Properties, or for significant work contributing toward identifying, preserving and/or interpreting archaeological sites. Grant funds may be awarded for amounts up to $20,000, which must be matched 1:1 by the grantee. The next request for proposals for Preserving Oregon Grants will be in late summer or fall of 2009. Information for prospective applicants is in the following documents:

| CLG Grants |
|
The Certified Local Government (CLG) program offers grants to cities and counties that have been "certified" as historic preservation partners with both the state and the federal governments. These grants can be used for a wide range of historic preservation activities, including National Register nominations, historic property surveys, preservation education projects, preservation code development, building restoration, and preservation planning. Between roughly $65,000 and $200,000 is currently available per year, depending on the federal allocation and state priorities.
