Through state fiscal year (SFY) 2008, this grant program was funded by the Georgia legislature. Beginning in SFY 2009, the program has been funded solely with license plate sales revenue. The first license plate-funded grant award of $20,000 to the Tybee Theater in Chatham County has since generated over $400,000 in private and civic donations due to community support and enthusiasm for the project.

McDonald, president and CEO of the Trust. "We hope the list will continue to bring preservation action to Georgia's imperiled historic resources by highlighting ten representative sites," McDonald said.
Through Places in Peril, the Trust will encourage owners and individuals, organizations and communities to employ proven preservation tools, financial resources and partnerships in order to reclaim, restore and revitalize historic properties that are in peril.
The Trust will provide on-site preservation assistance to each of the 2011 Places in Peril through its Partners in the Field program, funded by grants from the National Trust for Historic Preservation and a number of charitable organizations in Georgia. More information is available online.
