Opportunity Summary:
The FY2024 Historic Preservation Fund - History of Equal Rights - Preservation Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P24AS00529) is a competitive National Park Service (NPS) grant program designed to support the preservation of historic places connected to the struggle of Americans to achieve equal rights. Funded through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and administered by the NPS, the program is focused on safeguarding sites that help tell the story of equal rights movements and the people, organizations, and events associated with those efforts. The overarching goal is to protect and stabilize significant historic resources so they can continue to serve as tangible, public-facing links to this history.
This program can fund a wide range of preservation-oriented project activities tied to historic sites. Examples specifically noted include architectural services, preparation of historic structure reports, development of preservation plans, and physical preservation work to structures. In practical terms, this means funding may support professional planning and documentation work that establishes how a historic resource should be treated, as well as hands-on repair and preservation work that helps keep a historic building or structure standing and protected. The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant, with the funding activity category listed as "Other," and it is associated with CFDA number 15.966.
A major feature of this opportunity is that awards are made through a competitive process and do not require a non-federal cost share or match, which can make it more accessible for applicants that do not have the ability to raise matching funds. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $750,000 per grant. The posting also indicates "Expected Awards:" but does not provide a number, so applicants should plan with the understanding that the total number of awards may depend on available appropriations and the competitiveness of the applicant pool.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include state governments and a variety of local government entities (county governments; city or township governments; special district governments; and independent school districts), as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. Nonprofit organizations are eligible whether they have 501(c)(3) status or not (as long as they are not institutions of higher education), and tribal eligibility includes federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations. The description also highlights eligibility for Federally Recognized Indian Tribes, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiian Organizations as defined by 54 USC 300300. The key point is that applicants must fall into one of the listed eligible applicant categories, and projects must align with the program purpose of preserving equal rights-related historic sites.
There are also clear restrictions on what the program will not fund in terms of ownership and NPS involvement. Grants are not available for sites or collections that are owned or leased by the NPS, or where the NPS holds a property interest. This is an important boundary condition for project selection, because it effectively limits awards to non-NPS properties and helps ensure the grant funds support preservation needs outside the agency's own asset portfolio.
The opportunity was created (posted) on May 22, 2024, and the original closing date for applications was August 20, 2024. The issuing agency is the National Park Service. Applicants considering this program typically need to be prepared to show historic significance tied to equal rights history, define a clear scope of preservation work (whether planning, documentation, or physical preservation), and present a compelling case that the proposed project will protect and preserve the resource in a way that advances public understanding and long-term stewardship.
