Opportunity Summary:
The FY2015 Historic Preservation Fund State Historic Preservation Offices opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00020) is a National Park Service grant program designed to support statewide historic preservation work through State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs). The core purpose is to provide matching grants to states so they can identify, evaluate, and protect historic properties. In practice, that means helping states carry out activities such as historic resource surveys, preservation planning, technical assistance to partners, and in some cases acquisition and development work tied to preserving significant historic places. The program also supports the broader preservation system that includes federal tax incentives for historic properties, and it is intended to strengthen the capacity of states to deliver preservation services that benefit public agencies, nonprofits, and private individuals engaged in preservation.
A major emphasis of the program is expanding and supporting the National Register of Historic Places, the official national listing of historic districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture at the national, state, or local level. Through SHPO-led work, the grant helps states document resources, prepare nominations, and maintain the planning frameworks needed to recognize and safeguard historic places. The funding is aimed at practical outcomes like better inventories of historic resources, stronger preservation planning, more informed decision-making for development and infrastructure projects, and improved guidance for property owners and communities seeking to preserve historically important resources.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the funding comes with a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning grant funds must be matched with non-federal (or otherwise allowable) contributions as required by the program. The opportunity was posted on December 16, 2014, and applications were due by close of business on August 31, 2015. The program anticipated about 56 awards nationwide, reflecting the SHPO network across states and territories.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $46,925,000. Individual awards were expected to vary, with an award floor of $40,000 and an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.904 (Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid) and is categorized under Historic Preservation.
For additional program details, applicants were directed to the National Park Service SHPO grants page (http://www.nps.gov/shpo/grants.html). The listed point of contact for access issues or questions about the full announcement was Hampton Tucker at the National Park Service, reachable at 202-354-2067 or hamptontucker@nps.gov.
