Maryland Trust Opens New Capital Preservation Grant Round | The Locally Times
The Maryland Historical Trust opened its FY26 Capital Grant Round, but records do not detail application requirements or the recipients of $5 million in African American Heritage Preservation grants.
The Maryland Historical Trust (MHT) opened its Fiscal Year 2026 Historic Preservation Capital Grant Round, now accepting applications. This announcement, noted in a March 19, 2026, MHT job posting, indicates a new opportunity for preservation funding. The same March 19 MHT job posting also announced $5 million in African American Heritage Preservation Grants and identified awardees for the FY2026 African American Heritage Preservation Program. However, the available records do not specify the individual recipients or the amounts awarded within this $5 million program. The content of the press release detailing these grants is also not publicly provided. Detailed agendas or minutes for these meetings are not available, leaving potential discussions about these grant programs undisclosed. ## Missing Grant Information The specific eligibility requirements, application deadlines, and the total funding allocated for the newly opened FY26 Historic Preservation Capital Grant Round are not detailed in the available MHT records. This absence of information prevents a full understanding of the grant's scope and potential impact on local preservation efforts. The lack of public detail regarding the African American Heritage Preservation Program awardees also limits transparency regarding the distribution of these funds. Residents and organizations interested in these programs must await further public disclosures from the Maryland Historical Trust.
