Opportunity Summary:
The Historic Preservation Fund Grants to Underrepresented Communities (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00078) is a discretionary grant program run by the National Park Service (NPS) to help identify, document, and formally recognize historic places connected to communities that are currently underrepresented in the National Register of Historic Places and among National Historic Landmarks. The core purpose is to broaden representation in the nations historic listings by funding projects that move properties from being overlooked or undocumented to being properly surveyed, inventoried, and prepared for designation, based on priorities identified by both the NPS and the applicant.
Projects funded under this opportunity must directly support the preservation pipeline activities that lead to official recognition, particularly survey and inventory work and steps tied to designation. In practice, that can include researching historically significant sites tied to underrepresented groups, conducting field surveys, compiling inventories of resources, and preparing the documentation needed for formal evaluation and potential listing or landmark consideration. The emphasis is on historic properties associated with communities that have not been adequately reflected in existing national designations, rather than on general preservation work or rehabilitation.
The program anticipated making about 15 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $25,000 (award floor) and $75,000 (award ceiling). The listing indicates there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds, which can make participation more feasible for smaller governments and community-based entities.
Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, along with federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Additional eligible entities included Native Alaska Organizations and Native Hawaiian Organizations as defined by 54 U.S.C. 300314. A key restriction applied to local governments: only those that have been designated Certified Local Governments (CLGs) by the National Park Service and their State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) could apply. The opportunity referenced an NPS list of CLGs for verification.
This opportunity was posted on April 1, 2015, with an application closing date of June 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 1, 2015. It falls under CFDA 15.904 (Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid) and is categorized under historic preservation activities. For full announcement details and program materials, the opportunity pointed to an NPS webpage, and applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to contact Hampton Tucker at hamptontucker@nps.gov.
