Opportunity Summary:
The FY2016 Historic Preservation Fund State Historic Preservation Offices opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00039) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). Its core purpose is to provide matching grant funds to states so they can carry out statewide historic preservation responsibilities, especially the identification, evaluation, and long-term protection of historic properties. The program is structured to strengthen state-level preservation capacity and to support the broader national preservation framework established under federal law.
The funded work is centered on practical preservation activities. This includes surveying and documenting historic resources, evaluating their significance, and conducting planning efforts that guide preservation decisions over time. It also supports technical assistance that helps communities and partners navigate preservation standards and best practices. In addition, grant-supported work can include acquisition and development activities when they are part of protecting historic properties, along with support connected to certain federal tax incentives that encourage preservation of historic properties. A major emphasis is expanding and strengthening the National Register of Historic Places, the nation’s official list of historic districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that are significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, and culture at the national, state, and local levels.
While the primary recipients are state governments, the intent and downstream impact extends beyond state agencies. By reinforcing State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) programs, the funding helps enable preservation work carried out in partnership with federal, state, and local government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private individuals. In practice, this type of funding often supports the coordination, review, documentation, and planning functions that make it possible for a wide range of preservation projects to move forward in a legally compliant and technically sound way.
All awards under this program must comply with and support 54 USC 301 et seq., commonly referred to as the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended). This ties the grants directly to the statutory framework for preservation in the United States, including the processes and standards that govern how historic properties are identified, evaluated, and considered in planning and project review.
For FY2016, the opportunity was posted and created on March 4, 2016, with an application closing date of June 30, 2016. The program anticipated 56 awards, reflecting broad nationwide distribution consistent with state-based participation. The listed award ceiling was $1,500,000. The assistance listing identifier associated with the opportunity is CFDA 15.904 (now commonly referenced through the Assistance Listings system), and the funding instrument type is a grant under a category described as "Other" in the notice.
