Opportunity Summary:
The American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) Battlefield Preservation Project Grants is a discretionary grant program run by the National Park Service (CFDA 15.926) that provides early-stage, "seed" funding for projects tied to historic battlefields. The core aim is to help applicants move concrete preservation work forward by supporting efforts that directly lead to identifying battlefield land or related historic sites, preserving those resources, and improving how the public understands them through interpretation. In practical terms, this program is meant to help communities, governments, tribes, nonprofits, and educational institutions take actionable steps that protect historically significant places connected to battles, rather than funding unrelated activities or general operating needs.
For the referenced funding cycle (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00392), the program anticipated making about 25 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,200,000. The notice lists no required cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have access to additional funds. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the source data, which typically means the specific minimum and maximum award sizes were not stated in that summary record and would need to be confirmed in the full application guidance or detailed announcement.
Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and local governments (including cities, townships, and special districts), independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), and institutions of higher education (both public and private). The funding activity category is listed under Environment and Natural Resources with a clarification that it is specifically focused on Cultural Resources and Historic Preservation, which signals that the grant is concerned with the protection and management of cultural landscapes and historic sites rather than, for example, ecological restoration as a primary objective.
The application deadline for this opportunity was January 15, 2015, with submissions due by 4:00 pm Eastern Time. Applicants could submit either by hard copy sent through mail/delivery service to the ABPP office or electronically through Grants.gov, with the instruction to consult the application guidance for details. The opportunity was posted October 1, 2014, created September 22, 2014, and archived February 28, 2015, reflecting that it was a time-limited competition for that fiscal year cycle. For additional program materials, the announcement referenced a link labeled "2015 Battlefield Planning Grants," which likely contained the detailed guidance, allowable project types, and submission requirements. For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Kristen McMasters, Grants Manager and Archeologist at the National Park Service, reachable at 202-354-2037 and KristenMcMasters@nps.gov.
