Backing Historic Small Restaurants

The National Trust for Historic Preservation and American Express are in their fifth year of supporting 50 small or independently owned restaurants across the country through the Backing Historic Small Restaurants grant program. Each restaurant—all places that contribute to their neighborhood's unique history and identity—will receive $50,000 in funding to help them improve their businesses and positively impact their communities.

If you want your favorite local spot to be a recipient, encourage the owner to apply or nominate them yourself by sharing what makes this restaurant an anchor in your community: https://savingplaces.org/restaurant-submission.

After you've nominated them for this grant, nominate them for Latinos in Heritage Conservation's Endangered Latinx Landmark program too!
