<p>For this grant program, we need your help to identify iconic restaurants located in historic buildings that are anchors of their historic neighborhoods! 25 small restaurants will receive $40,000 in grant funds and additional support from partners including
Main Street America, AT&T Business, Dell Technologies, and National Restaurant Association.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Grant Selection Criteria for Eligible U.S. Small Historic Restaurants:</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have experienced significant financial hardship due to the impacts of the pandemic. Have contributed to the neighborhood’s history and/or the identity of a particular neighborhood or community for at least 25 years. Be a small/independently
owned restaurant located in a historic building and/or historic neighborhood. Preference will be given to businesses owned by underrepresented groups, including People of Color and women, disproportionally impacted by the pandemic. Priority will be given to
small restaurants who have not already received significant COVID-19-related aid.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>These grant funds can be used for “sprucing up” the exteriors of the restaurants as well as for marketing to support these important community anchors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I hope that you will share this news with preservation-minded allies and with iconic restaurants as well. The
