I’ve been fortunate to have worked with Lise for years as a volunteer for Downtown Corvallis and for our Red White & Blue Riverfront Festival.  Albany is fortunate to have her on board and I look forward to Lise being an excellent Executive Director for the Albany program!
Welcome, Lise!

The purpose is to return them to their historic appearance and potentially qualify them for historic register designation (local or national). Grants may be awarded up to $20,000.

> a.      Grants from National Trust Preservation Funds (NTPF) are intended to encourage preservation at the local level by providing seed money for preservation projects. These grants help stimulate public discussion, enable local groups to gain the technical expertise needed for particular projects, introduce the public to preservation concepts and techniques, and encourage financial participation by the private sector. A small grant at the right time can go a long way and is often the catalyst that inspires a community to take action on a preservation project. Grants generally start at $2,500 and range up to $5,000. The selection process is very competitive. The review process is generally completed within eight weeks of the application deadline, and applicants are notified via email once the review process is complete. Application deadlines are February 1, June 1 and October 1.  If the first of the month falls on a weekend, applications will be due on the following Monday.
