Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00728
Save America's Treasures - Preservation (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00728) is a competitive federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS), using monies from the Historic Preservation Fund. The program is designed to support hands-on preservation and conservation work for historic resources that are considered nationally significant. In practical terms, the funding targets real, physical preservation needs, such as stabilizing or repairing historic structures, protecting and conserving important historic materials, and safeguarding significant collections so they remain intact and accessible for future generations.
A key feature of this opportunity is that awards require a strict dollar-for-dollar, non-federal match. That means for every federal dollar awarded, the recipient must provide an equal amount from non-federal sources. The matching share can be provided as cash and may also include documented in-kind contributions, as long as those contributions can be properly valued and supported with records. This cost-share requirement is central to the program and effectively doubles the scale of preservation work by leveraging federal support with local, private, or other non-federal investment.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant and is associated with multiple activity areas, including arts, humanities, community development, and other cultural affairs-related work. Although the program is housed within NPS, it is administered in partnership with several major cultural agencies: the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. That partnership signals a broad cultural preservation mission that can include both historic properties and significant collections, not just buildings alone.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and nonprofit entities. Government applicants may include state governments, counties, cities or townships, and independent school districts. Educational institutions may apply as well, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are eligible, and nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) are also eligible. The listing also notes an "Others" category, indicating that additional eligibility details may apply depending on the specific guidance provided in the full notice.
For this funding round, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, and the program anticipated making about 25 awards. The opportunity record indicates it was created on September 25, 2018, with an application deadline of December 3, 2018, and applications were required to be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. Overall, the grant is geared toward applicants who can demonstrate national significance of the property or collection, present a strong and feasible preservation plan, and bring matching resources to the table to complete high-quality preservation or conservation work.Apply for P18AS00728
