Landmark Challenge Grants

4Culture's Landmark Challenge Grants provide strategic assistance countywide for "bricks and mortar" projects involving highly significant, designated historic properties. City of Seattle landmarks, City of Bothell landmarks, King County and its interlocal city landmarks, and National Register sites in areas without a local landmarks ordinance are eligible to apply.

The goals of the program are to address critical physical needs, to spur momentum toward achievable preservation goals, and to visibly demonstrate the value of historic preservation to the community.

We seek to fund quality projects that:

  • Face a high degree of imminent threat
  • Have a strong project proponent(s)
  • Offer substantial long-range public benefit
  • Show thoughtful preliminary planning
  • Demonstrate a high likelihood of success

Unlike other funding programs at 4Culture, Landmark Challenge Grants:

  • Require a one-to-one cash match
  • Offer a minimum grant award of $10,000 (with a minimum project budget of $20,000)
  • Will be reimbursed at 50% of documented expenditure

All recipients of Landmark Challenge Grants will contract with 4Culture for the purchase of services. Defined insurance, public benefit, and minimum maintenance obligations will apply.
