Together with American Express, we at the National Trust for Historic
Preservation are launching Backing Historic Small Restaurants
[[link removed]] , a new grant opportunity to aid restaurant recovery.

Our mission: award $1 million in grants to 25 historic restaurants throughout
the United States to help improve, upgrade, and preserve their exterior physical
spaces and online businesses. The program has a preference for restaurants owned by underrepresented groups,
including People of Color and women, disproportionally impacted by the pandemic.

We need your help to find cozy cafes, delicious dives, and other beloved
restaurants that have stood the test of time and served their communities for
decades—but now are facing their biggest challenge yet from the COVID-19
pandemic. Restaurant owners and restaurant lovers alike are encouraged to nominate their
favorite business(es) for this opportunity by March 9.
