Diamonds in the Rough grants are to restore or reconstruct the facades of buildings that have been heavily altered over the years. The purpose is to return them to their historic appearance and potentially qualify them for historic designation (local or national). These grants are part of the SHPO's Preserving Oregon Grant Program. Grants may be awarded up to $20,000. These grants are funded in part by the Oregon Cultural Trust.
Deadline: The 2020 Grant cycle was canceled due to budget restraints related to COVID-19. We hope to offer this program in 2021, please use the 2020 guidelines as a reference until a new grant cycle opens.
