The Cincinnati Preservation Association will receive a $72,500 matching grant from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the group said Tuesday.

The grant is part of $5 million being disbursed through the National Trust’s Partners in the Field program to 21 preservation groups throughout the United States.

The Cincinnati Preservation Association will use the grant to provide community-based technical assistance, support and advocacy for preservation issues. The association is a nonprofit, membership group whose mission is to preserve historic and cultural resources in the Cincinnati area.
