Opportunity Summary:
The FY2014 THPO Historic Preservation Fund Grants in Aid opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00013) is a National Park Service grant program designed to support Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPOs) in protecting and managing tribal cultural and historic resources. It uses formula-based grant funding to help THPOs carry out core preservation responsibilities under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended through 2006). In practical terms, the program is aimed at strengthening tribal capacity to identify, evaluate, and preserve places, sites, and resources that are culturally and historically important to federally recognized tribes, while also supporting the day-to-day functions of THPO operations tied to the federal historic preservation framework.
This funding focuses on cultural and historic preservation work that THPOs commonly perform, including surveys and inventories to locate and document historic properties, evaluation efforts to determine significance and eligibility under preservation standards, and preservation planning that helps tribes set priorities and policies for long-term resource protection. The scope also explicitly includes education and outreach, archeology-related activities, and technical assistance, which can cover advising tribal programs, community members, or partners on preservation methods, compliance processes, documentation standards, and other preservation best practices. Overall, the program is structured to help THPOs maintain and improve preservation programs that protect cultural landscapes, traditional cultural places, archeological sites, historic buildings, and other heritage resources.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant with the funding activity labeled under “Other,” further explained as cultural and historic preservation. The CFDA listing is 15.904, Historic Preservation Fund Grants In Aid. The announcement anticipated a large number of awards (expected awards: 300), reflecting the nationwide reach of the THPO program and the intent to distribute preservation support broadly among eligible tribes rather than concentrating funds into only a few large awards.
For FY2014, the estimated total funding amount was $8,500,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $10,000 to a ceiling of $200,000, which indicates the program could support both smaller THPO operations and larger offices with more extensive preservation workloads. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning tribes were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to receive an award, which reduces barriers to participation and helps ensure more tribes can access preservation support.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. This aligns with the THPO structure under federal law, where a tribe may assume certain historic preservation responsibilities on tribal lands through an approved THPO program. The opportunity was posted on December 16, 2013, with an original closing date of December 31, 2014, and a current closing date listed as September 30, 2014. The archive date is October 31, 2014, indicating the posting was later archived as a past funding opportunity.
Applicants or interested parties were directed to an additional information page hosted by the National Park Service at http://www.nps.gov/history/thpo/grants.html for program details and related guidance.
