Why are some historic sites left off the selection list?
The Bay Area’s cultural heritage is extraordinarily rich and extensive. Including all of those preservation efforts worthy of support is beyond the scope of this project. Instead, the San Francisco-based Western Office of the National Trust worked with partners throughout the Bay Area to develop a selection list includes projects that represent the full range of heritage sites in the region, and that meet the criteria listed below.

The applicant should demonstrate that grant support will play an identifiable role in getting the project started or completed or making an important, visible contribution.
