The Fox Theatre Grant Program, through Fox Gives, supports the preservation and revitalization of historic theaters across Georgia, ensuring these cultural landmarks continue to enrich their communities. Since 2008, the program has awarded $4.2 million in financial assistance through single-year and multiyear grants, providing vital funding for restoration projects that drive economic growth and cultural impact. In addition to financial support, grantees may receive professional development opportunities through seminars and industry workshops.

There are three types of grants available for FY 2025-2026. Organizations may apply for support only once per grant cycle in the following categories:

• Historic Structure Studies or Planning
• Periodic Technical Assistance and Services
• Preservation & Facilities Grant

(Organizations may apply for Urgent or Emergency Needs grant support in addition to one of the categories listed above.)

Applications should clearly demonstrate:

• The property's historic significance and evidence of community support for the project.
• The need for funding, including the urgency of the project or its long-term impact.
• The cultural and/or economic benefits the project will bring to the community.
• Collaborations and partnerships that leverage additional public and private investment.
• A comprehensive plan for addressing both immediate needs and the long-term care of the theater or program.
