Grant program helps preserve and support historic African American sites-Program honors Eli Lilly chemist and preservationist Stan CoxApplications are open for two funds created to honor the legacy of an Eli Lilly chemist by providing grants to organizations working to preserve significant African American landmarks in Indiana. The Standiford H. Cox Fund supports the restoration, preservation, operation, and ongoing maintenance of African American historic sites in Indiana. Indiana Landmarks staff and Black Heritage Preservation Program committee review initial recommendations and submit them to CICF in June. This grant program carries that bigger purpose forward by strengthening the communities around these sites in addition to the buildings themselves. Applications for Cox Funds grants are due by April 1, 2026.
