The Dubuque Old House Enthusiasts is pleased to announce the 2012 Grant Program. The Dubuque Old House Enthusiasts is a charitable organization promoting historic preservation, conservation, education and awareness.
This funding opportunity is open to area nonprofits with 501(c)(3) designations. Historic preservation efforts must conform to city and federal guidelines for the structure (i.e., if the structure is in a historic district or a locally designated landmark, work must be approved by the city of Dubuque Historic Preservation Commission; if it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places work must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Historic Preservation). Eligible projects can include bricks and mortar restoration, consultant fees, educational projects, and exhibits relating to historic preservation. The project should start no earlier than April 16 and after the grant is awarded. Project time lines shall not exceed 18 months.
The grant project must be located within the city of Dubuque. The board reserves the right to fund a project that falls outside of those limits under their discretion. Applications are available February 1 online at www.dbqohe.org. Applications have a postmark deadline and/or email deadline of March 15, 2012. Grant winners will be notified by April 15. For more information, contact Chris Happ Olson at DbqOHE.grants@gmail.com.
Each year the group sponsors the Annual DubuqueFest Old House Tour to allow community members and visitors the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate a sample of Dubuque's historic treasures, as well as to promote interest in their preservation. The tour serves as a fundraiser for area historic places and educational materials supported through this grant program. This year’s tour focuses on Dubuque’s historic Northend, with homes in the scenic Broadway neighborhood and the newly restored White House at Four Mounds. The tour takes place on Saturday and Sunday May 19 & 20, 2012. The cost is $12 per person for both days and free shuttles run between all the attractions. Purchase tickets at one of the houses during the event or by calling Diane Schultz at 563-556-5562. Proceeds from last year’s tour helped support restoration at the Four Mounds White House.
