Historic preservation projects can be expensive, and often rely on some degree of grant funding. Organizations such as the Civic Trust work with various local and state agencies for project funding, and receive private donations from interested parties and individuals. Grants from state and national agencies help round out any extra funding necessary for historic preservation projects. One of the most important steps in receiving a grant is the grant-writing process. That is largely an electronic process in 2020, but that was not the case fifty years ago.
