During the past 57 years, The Villagers have awarded more than 230 grants that include over 80 endangered, public landmarks in Miami-Dade County.

What You Need To Know Before Applying for Financial Assistance:

  • Applicants must be a not-for-profit organization and the project should involve either historic or architecturally significant structures or sites within Miami-Dade County.
  • Memorials will not be considered.
  • The program is competitive and will be judged on the relative significance of the property, the degree of financial need and the assurance that the project can be completed within a two (2) year period after receiving grant approval.

Grant Applications open the end of August, the deadline for submission is October 15th and Grant Awards are announced early December.
