Historic Preservation Grants

Trader Foundation for Maryland Burial Sites


The Trader Foundation invites applications for grants up to $3,000. The project or program must benefit a specific burial ground within the State of Maryland, and Trader funds must be matched by the grantee. Some Trader Foundation grants have been used to match those from other public and private sources that support burial site projects. Examples of eligible projects include rescue of an endangered site, gravestone conservation or restoration, documentation, protection of burial site from desecration by nature or by man, cemetery clean-up, and planning for restoration.
