Opportunity Summary:
The FY2015 Historic Preservation Fund Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (THPO) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00019) is a National Park Service program that provides formula-based financial support to federally recognized Tribal governments that operate Tribal Historic Preservation Offices. The core purpose is to help Tribes identify, evaluate, and protect cultural and historic resources, and to strengthen their ability to carry out preservation responsibilities authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended through 2006. In practical terms, the program is meant to keep Tribal preservation programs staffed and functioning, support ongoing preservation workflows, and ensure Tribes can participate effectively in the national preservation framework while reflecting Tribal priorities and cultural values.
The funded work focuses on a wide range of preservation activities. Grants can support identification and evaluation of historic properties through surveys and inventories, documentation efforts, and planning activities that guide preservation decisions over time. Funds may also be used for education and outreach that build community understanding of cultural heritage, as well as archeology-related work where appropriate. Technical assistance is another key theme, meaning resources can be directed toward developing internal Tribal capacity, improving preservation processes, and supporting the expertise needed to manage cultural resources responsibly. Overall, the opportunity is structured to underwrite the day-to-day and strategic work that THPOs perform to preserve places, landscapes, and resources of cultural, historical, and archeological significance.
This is a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) categorized under Cultural Heritage and Historic Preservation (Funding Activity Category listed as "Other" with the explanation provided). The assistance is provided through the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid program (CFDA 15.904). The program anticipated making about 150 awards, reflecting broad national participation among eligible Tribal governments. The estimated total funding available for FY2015 was $8,700,000, with individual awards expected to fall between an award floor of $10,000 and an award ceiling of $150,000. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to provide non-federal matching funds to receive an award.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized. This aligns with the program's purpose of supporting Tribal Historic Preservation Offices and the statutory responsibilities Tribes may assume under federal preservation law. Because the grants are formula-based, the program is designed to distribute funding in a consistent, structured way across qualifying THPOs rather than relying solely on a competitive scoring approach typical of many project grants.
Key dates for the opportunity show it was posted on December 16, 2014, with an original closing date of March 31, 2015 (close of business). The closing date was later extended, with the current closing date listed as May 15, 2015 (close of business). The archive date was September 30, 2015. Additional program information was provided through the National Park Service THPO grants page at http://www.nps.gov/thpo/grants/index.html.
