Historic foundation gets second half of grant
Historic Savannah Foundation was recently awarded the second half of a two-year $75,000 grant from The 1722 Foundation, a national leader in the field of historic property redevelopment.
Historic Savannah Foundation originally received the revolving fund grant in 2012 and used the funding to buy an endangered property at 222 E. 32nd St. in Savannah’s Thomas Square Streetcar District. The three-bedroom residence, built in 1900, is one of more than 350 threatened local structures Historic Savannah Foundation has preserved through the revolving fund, which acquires historic properties through donation, options or purchase.
A property qualifies for the revolving fund if it is endangered, has historical significance and is marketable for sale.
“This generous grant from The 1722 Foundation enables Historic Savannah Foundation to continue to save Savannah’s historic structures, in keeping with our founding mission established in 1955,” said Daniel Carey, the foundation’s president and CEO.
