The CFLL Historic Preservation Fund, established by the Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln, is dedicated to supporting the physical improvement of structures and promoting historic preservation within Springfield, IL. This grant program aligns directly with the foundation's mission by investing in the cultural and economic vitality of the community through the preservation of its historical assets. By focusing on historic properties, the fund aims to maintain the unique character and heritage of Springfield, contributing to a sense of place and community pride. The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are 501(c)(3) charitable organizations, faith-based organizations (provided proposals benefit all regardless of religion and are non-religious in nature), public or private schools with projects exceeding their budget funding, and certain government entities or municipalities. The impact goals include the successful rehabilitation, renovation, and upkeep of historic properties, as well as those with significant historic, economic development, or community value. The fund seeks to empower these organizations to undertake projects that might otherwise be financially unfeasible, thereby ensuring the long-term preservation of important community structures. The grant prioritizes historic preservation projects specifically within Springfield, IL. The focus is on tangible improvements to structures and initiatives that raise awareness and support for historic preservation efforts. While not explicitly detailed as a "theory of change," the foundation's strategic priority is evident in its commitment to local community development through preserving its historical infrastructure. This implicitly assumes that by investing in historic preservation, they contribute to economic development, tourism, and community well-being. Expected outcomes include improved conditions of historic buildings, increased public engagement with historic preservation issues, and enhanced community value derived from well-maintained historical sites. The grant awards, typically ranging from $1,000 to $10,000, with one or more grants up to $6,000, serve as measurable results of the fund's direct financial impact on these projects. The success of the program can be measured by the number of properties restored, the scope of the improvements, and the broader community benefits realized through these preservation efforts.
