We've won 2 grants
from the National Trust Preservation Funds for the architecture work at St. Augustine's: one for $2.5k and another for $15k!
Thank you!
Cambridgeport's own St. Augustine's African Orthodox Church (137 Allston St.) has been awarded a second $50k matching grant from the Cambridge Historical Commission. The money will be used toward restoration of the siding, windows, and for ADA accessibility. The roof is being redone now.
​
The CNA is fundraising to help with this historical preservation project in our neighborhood. In addition to the grant, the CHC will match all donations for up to $50k in additional funds.
