Grants from the Hart Family Fund for Small Towns are intended to encourage preservation at the local level by providing seed money for preservation projects in small towns with populations of 10,000 or less.

Grants from the Hart Family Fund for Small Towns generally range from $2,500 to $15,000. The selection process is very competitive.
