Letters of intent are being accepted for the National Trust for Historic Preservation's (NTHP) grant program on preserving Black churches. 

The program is a recent initiative that will invest $20 million with support from Lilly Endowment Inc. and the NTHP African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund. 

"Black churches are a living testament to the achievements and resiliency of generations in the face of a racialized and inequitable society," said an NTHP post on Facebook. 

"The Preserving Black Churches grant program is an investment in Black communities to reimagine, redesign, and redeploy historic preservation as a way to address the institutions’ needs and the cultural assets and stories they steward."

Letters of intent for eligible churches are due Sept. 2. Click here to submit a letter.
