Lowe's 2008 Rosenwald Schools Grants
For the third consecutive year, Lowe's has partnered with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and generously contributed $1 million through the Lowe's Preservation Fund to help restore historically significant sites across the country. In 2008, 17 Rosenwald Schools in ten states were selected as grant recipients. These schools will be restored and developed, and through adaptive reuse, transformed into once-again vibrant facilities in their communities.
