Opportunity Summary:
The National Maritime Heritage Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number P15AS00129) is a competitive grant program run by the National Park Service to support projects that strengthen and protect the United States' maritime heritage. For the 2015 funding cycle, the program made an estimated total of about $1.7 million available for projects that either educate the public about maritime history and heritage or preserve historic maritime resources. The program sits under the National Maritime Heritage Grants Program (CFDA 15.925) and is tied to historic preservation as its primary activity area.
Applicants could submit proposals during a defined window, with proposals accepted from May 15, 2015 through August 3, 2015 (the closing date). The opportunity was posted May 12, 2015 and later archived on September 3, 2015. Awards were offered as grants, and the program required cost sharing or matching, meaning grantees needed to contribute eligible non-federal funds or in-kind support according to the program rules.
Funding amounts depended on the type of project proposed. Education projects were eligible to request between $15,000 and $50,000, supporting things like curricula, interpretive programs, public outreach, exhibits, and other educational efforts focused on maritime heritage. Preservation projects could request between $50,000 and $200,000, aimed at protecting, stabilizing, documenting, or otherwise preserving historic maritime properties and resources. The stated award floor was $15,000 and the ceiling was $200,000, reflecting the minimum and maximum award sizes across both project categories.
Eligibility was broad across public, nonprofit, and higher education sectors, allowing a wide range of organizations to apply. Eligible applicants included state governments; county and city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions). This structure supports partnerships among museums, universities, local governments, preservation groups, and tribal entities working on maritime-related history and preservation.
Administration of the awards was handled through the National Park Service's Maritime Heritage Program in coordination with State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs), which typically play a central role in preservation review, compliance, and oversight for historic preservation work. Additional application details and instructions were provided through the National Park Service website at http://www.nps.gov/maritime/grants/apply.htm.
