The maximum award is $2,000.00. Grant applications are due March 15, 2021. It’s never too late to start your application packet.

See our slideshow for helpful hints on applying for an NCPC Preservation grant. The application and other useful information can be found on our Preservation Grants website.

And don’t forget we have the new Disaster Relief Grant available to members of NCPC or NCMC. Information on that program can be found on the Disaster Relief Grant website.

Support NCPC While You Shop Amazon

Shop Amazon Smile

If you regularly shop on Amazon, you can easily give to NCPC at no extra cost to you. By choosing North Carolina Preservation Consortium as your designated charity on Amazon Smile, Amazon donates a percentage of the purchase price (excluding taxes, shipping, etc.) to NCPC. Simply start your shopping at Amazon Smile and the site will remember that you have designated NCPC as your Smile recipient. That is all there is to it, no strings attached. You can change your charity designation at any time, but we hope you keep it on NCPC.

More ways to give to NCPC can be found online. Thank you for your support.

The North Carolina Preservation Consortium (NCPC) and the North Carolina Museums Council (NCMC) have joined forces to assist collecting institutions affected by disasters.

Purpose and Scope of Grant

To provide funds for collection supplies for institutions affected by disasters declared either by the state (North Carolina) or federal authorities. These include but are not limited to hurricanes, floods, tornados, wildfires, and earthquakes.

Funds will be awarded between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021. Applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. Grants will be awarded until funds earmarked for the fiscal year are depleted.

Institutions affected by Federal and State declared disaster events from 2016 to present are eligible to apply for funding. Applications citing global pandemics, including Ebola and Covid-19, will not be accepted.

Applicants must be institutional members of NCPC or NCMC, and must be within the declared North Carolina disaster areas as defined by FEMA or the Governor of North Carolina. Grants are not awarded to individuals.

Maximum award is $1,000. NCPC and NCMC seeks to fund as many worthwhile grants as possible. Grant proposals of any amount up to $1,000 are welcome.
