Opportunity Summary:
The FY2014 SHPO Historic Preservation Fund Grants in Aid opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00012) is a National Park Service grant program designed to strengthen statewide historic preservation efforts through cost-sharing support to State governments. The core purpose is to help States identify, evaluate, and protect historic properties, while also expanding and supporting use of the National Register of Historic Places, the nation-wide inventory of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects recognized for their significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture at the national, state, and local levels. In practice, the program is meant to help State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs) and their partners carry out the day-to-day work that keeps historic resources documented, understood, and preserved for the public.
The funded activities described in the announcement are broad and reflect the full lifecycle of preservation work. Support may be used for identification and evaluation efforts such as surveys and inventories that locate historic and archeological resources and document their condition and significance. It also supports planning and technical assistance, which can include developing preservation plans, improving state-level preservation programs, and providing guidance to communities or property owners on appropriate treatments and compliance considerations. The opportunity also references acquisition and development work, which generally aligns with preservation outcomes like protecting important properties or supporting rehabilitation efforts consistent with preservation standards. In addition, the description notes connections to certain federal tax incentives for historic properties, reflecting how SHPO programs often play a role in administering or supporting processes tied to certified historic rehabilitation and related incentives.
A major emphasis of the grant is helping States expand the National Register of Historic Places. This includes activities that lead to identifying eligible properties, preparing documentation, and supporting nomination work, which in turn improves public recognition, planning, and long-term stewardship of significant resources. Beyond the register itself, the program is framed to assist a wider preservation ecosystem: federal, state, and local government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private individuals who rely on SHPO expertise and capacity to carry out preservation projects, comply with applicable requirements, and make informed decisions about historic resources.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized under Historic Preservation and Cultural Heritage and uses a grant funding instrument. It falls under CFDA 15.904 (Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid). The program anticipated 112 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000,000. Individual award amounts were listed with a floor of $50,000 and a ceiling of $2,000,000, indicating the program could support both smaller and larger state preservation efforts depending on scope and allocation. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning participating States must provide non-federal matching resources in accordance with program rules, reinforcing the program structure as a partnership investment rather than fully federal funding.
Eligibility is limited to State governments, consistent with the SHPO model where the State serves as the primary grantee and administrator of many preservation functions and pass-through activities. The opportunity was posted on December 16, 2013, with a creation date of December 18, 2013. The closing date was December 31, 2014, and the opportunity was archived on January 1, 2015, marking it as a time-limited FY2014 funding round rather than an open-ended solicitation.
