The William G. Pomeroy Foundation® is committed to supporting the celebration and preservation of community history by providing grants that fully fund historical markers across the United States. Established in 2005 by entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Pomeroy, the Foundation is a private philanthropic organization based in Syracuse, N.Y. It is the nation's leading funder of historical markers, having awarded more than 3,200 grants for markers and bronze plaques in 49 states and Washington, D.C. Through six signature marker grant programs, including Historic Transportation and National Register, as well as several partner programs, the Foundation provides eligible local, state, and federal government entities, nonprofit academic institutions, and 501(c)(3) organizations with funding that covers the full cost of a marker, pole, and shipping.
