Grant Award Summary

The National Park Service (NPS) awarded $2.25 million to Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University under the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929) on September 19, 2025, for a physical preservation project. The award funds the repair and restoration of the skylight and atrium at the historic Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois—a National Historic Landmark with 3,900 seats that serves as a cultural and educational venue. The project is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2029.

Save America's Treasures, administered by the NPS in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), provides matching grants for preservation and conservation work on nationally significant historic structures and cultural artifacts. This award follows the program's competitive, merit-based process and requires a dollar-for-dollar non-federal match (cash or documented in-kind contributions), consistent with the program's standard requirement. The project represents one of the program's larger allocations, reflecting the scope and national significance of the Auditorium Theatre's restoration needs.
