The William G. Pomeroy Foundation is committed to assisting communities in celebrating their history. The Foundation emphasizes the significance of historic markers in promoting local historic preservation, educating the public, and fostering historic tourism, which ultimately supports local economies.
The National Register Signage Grant Program focuses on aiding the owners of properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places to procure signage. Its goal is to ensure that significant historical places worthy of preservation are recognized and celebrated within their communities. This program specifically supports the funding of plaques or signs for these properties, addressing the gap left by the lack of included funding for such purposes upon designation.
