Opportunity Information: Apply for P18AS00554
The Historic Preservation Fund Grants to Underrepresented Communities opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P18AS00554) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Its central purpose is to strengthen historic preservation efforts for people and places that have historically been overlooked in federal recognition programs, specifically communities that are currently underrepresented in the National Register of Historic Places and among National Historic Landmarks. The program is designed to move projects beyond general research and into concrete, formal recognition actions that expand and correct the public record of what and who is considered historically significant.
The funding is aimed at practical preservation planning and documentation work, with an emphasis on survey, inventory, and designation-related activities. In plain terms, these grants help pay for identifying historic properties connected to underrepresented communities, documenting them in a way that meets federal standards, and preparing the materials needed to pursue official listing or landmark status. A key requirement makes the program outcome-oriented: within one year after the grant-funded work is completed, every project must produce a formal submission either as (1) a new nomination to the National Register of Historic Places or the National Historic Landmark program, or (2) an amendment to an existing National Register or National Historic Landmark nomination that explicitly incorporates underrepresented communities. This requirement signals that the National Park Service expects deliverables that directly lead to new or improved federal designations, rather than preliminary studies that do not culminate in a nomination package.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The eligibility list also includes an "Others" category, indicating that additional types of applicants may be allowed depending on the specific eligibility clarification provided in the full notice. The grant’s activity areas are broadly framed across arts/cultural affairs, humanities, community development, and other related preservation purposes, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.904.
In terms of scale and competition, the award ceiling is $50,000 per grant, with an expectation of around 12 awards. Applications were required to be submitted through Grants.gov, with a deadline of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on November 1, 2018 (original closing date). Overall, the opportunity supports targeted projects that produce professional-grade documentation and result in tangible progress toward listing or amending historic designations so that the National Register and National Historic Landmarks programs better reflect the full diversity of American history.Apply for P18AS00554
