The State Historical Fund
Colorado and Preservation
Colorado has one of the most robust state
grant programs for historic preservation in
the country
The State Historical Fund:
In 1990 Colorado voters approved a constitutional
amendment to allow limited-stakes gaming in Black
Hawk, Central City, and Cripple Creek with the
condition that a portion of gaming tax revenue be
redistributed through a grants program to preserve
Colorado’s historic sites
This grant program is called the State Historical Fund
The State Historical Fund:
Purpose
Provide grants which foster preservation
through tangible and highly visible projects
for direct public benefit.
• Projects are typically on the National Registry, State Registry, or Locally listed
•Strong connection to Historic Preservation
The State Historical Fund:
The State Historical Fund provides grant application
assistance including site visits, awarded grant
samples, and draft application review.
Once awarded funding, your project will also be
assigned a Contracts Specialist and a Historic
Preservation Specialist.
The State Historical Fund:
SHF has awarded more than $290,000,000
dollars in grant funding
We have completed over 4,400 successful
preservation and archaeological projects
We have awarded grants in all 64 counties
in Colorado
What is Historic Preservation? A conversation with our past about our future.
