Grant Overview
Idaho's Unique Fit for Preservation Funding## Capacity for Preservation in IdahoIdaho's historic preservation landscape is characterized by a mix of rural and urban areas, with a growing recognition of the importance of preserving its cultural heritage. The Idaho State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), a division of the Idaho State Historical Society, is the primary state agency responsible for historic preservation efforts. The SHPO works closely with local governments, non-profits, and private property owners to identify and protect historic resources. Idaho's distinct cultural and geographic features, such as the Nez Perce National Historic Park and the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, make it an ideal location for preservation projects that highlight the state's rich history.Idaho's rural areas, such as the frontier counties in the eastern part of the state, present unique challenges and opportunities for historic preservation. The lack of resources and infrastructure in these areas can make it difficult to maintain and preserve historic buildings, but it also provides an opportunity for creative and innovative preservation solutions. The Idaho Commission on the Arts and the Idaho Department of Commerce are examples of state agencies that provide support for cultural and economic development initiatives that can be leveraged for preservation projects.## Why Idaho is a Good Fit for this GrantThe Preservation Funding for Sites Designed by Black Architects grant is a unique opportunity for Idaho to recognize and preserve the contributions of Black architects to the state's built environment. Although Idaho's population is relatively small and homogeneous, there are still significant historic sites related to Black history and culture that are worth preserving. For example, the historic African American community in Boise has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century, with several historic buildings and sites that could be eligible for preservation funding. Additionally, the state's growing tourism industry, which attracted over 32 million visitors in 2020, presents an opportunity to leverage preservation efforts to promote cultural tourism and economic development.## Idaho's Competitive AdvantageIdaho's competitive advantage for this grant lies in its ability to bring together state and local partners to support preservation efforts. The Idaho SHPO has a strong track record of working with local governments and non-profits to preserve historic resources, and the state has a number of successful preservation projects that could be used as models for future efforts. Additionally, the state's relatively low cost of living and doing business makes it an attractive location for preservation projects. With funding from the Preservation Funding for Sites Designed by Black Architects grant, Idaho non-profits and municipalities could steward historic assets of modern architecture, increasing recognition of Black architects and their artistic expressions.Applicants should be aware that the Idaho SHPO provides technical assistance and guidance on historic preservation projects, and the Idaho Department of Commerce offers resources for cultural and economic development initiatives. Q: What types of projects are eligible for funding under this grant in Idaho?A: Projects that involve the preservation or restoration of historic sites designed by Black architects are eligible for funding. This could include buildings, landscapes, or other cultural resources that are significant to Idaho's cultural heritage.Q: How can Idaho non-profits and municipalities access technical assistance for preservation projects?A: The Idaho SHPO provides technical assistance and guidance on historic preservation projects, and non-profits and municipalities can contact them directly to request assistance.Q: Are there other funding sources available in Idaho that can be used to match or supplement Preservation Funding for Sites Designed by Black Architects grants?A: Yes, the Idaho Commission on the Arts and the Idaho Department of Commerce offer various grant programs that could be used to match or supplement Preservation Funding for Sites Designed by Black Architects grants, such as the Idaho Community Development Block Grant program and the Idaho Historic Preservation Grant program.
