INDIANAPOLIS — In 2020, Indiana Landmarks awarded more than $215,000 to help nonprofits and cities around Indiana save meaningful places. Drawing from a variety of funds, these grants support efforts ranging from architectural assessments and repairs at historic houses of worship to digital walking tours and workshops, videos and summer programs for youth.
Indiana Landmarks’ African American Landmarks Committee awards grants to help preserve and raise awareness of historic African American places in Indiana. The Indiana Historical Bureau in Indianapolis received funds to help obtain a historical marker for Evansville’s Lincoln Gardens, the first New Deal-era public housing project built specifically for African Americans.
