Non-profit organizations should be sure that any such arrangements meet their own goals and interests, keeping in mind the possi- bility that less than half of the applicants for grant funds may receive grants.

If any historical material or architectural features are removed, they shall be properly recorded and, if possible, stored for future study or reuse. Pro- tection must safeguard the physical condition or environment of a property or archeological site from further deterioration or damage. Stabilization is the application of measures designed to sustain the form an aimed at halting further deterioration and enhancing safety, rather than attempting to rebuild or recreate lost historic features. Stabilization includes techniques to arrest or slow deterioration of a site, structure, (x object. Improvements in physical conditions to make the prop- erty safe, habitable, or otherwise useful can be part of stabilization, as c minor repairs that do not change or adversely affect the fabric, appearance, or historic value of the property.
