8:30am, Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 East 11th Street, Manhattan
For the May Coffee Talk, come meet with Roberta Lane, senior program officer and regional attorney at the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Northeast Office. The Office offers technical assistance and funding to support local, state and regional preservation efforts in 10 states including New York. Roberta will talk in-depth about the Trust’s mission and discuss a variety of available financial incentives to assist community-based initiatives. Types of projects that these funds can support include restoration of significant public buildings, undertaking surveys of historic resources, stabilizing historic schools, and raising awareness about important African American sites. These grants may be available to your organization to undertake needed preservation efforts. Roberta will also provide more information on an exciting new funding opportunity specifically for local organizations, the Elizabeth and Robert Jeffe Fund for New York City. Come learn more about the Northeast Office and how they can help with your preservation campaigns!
