Opportunity Summary:
The Tribal Heritage Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAS1400015) is a discretionary grant program administered by the National Park Service under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The program is designed to support cultural and historic preservation work led by Indigenous communities, with the overall goal of helping protect, sustain, and share unique cultural heritage, traditions, and historic resources. In practical terms, the grants are meant to back projects that preserve places, stories, and cultural practices that are significant to Indian Tribes, Alaska Native communities, and Native Hawaiian organizations, strengthening community-led stewardship of heritage resources.
This funding falls under CFDA 15.904, Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid, and the activity focus is explicitly described as cultural and historic preservation. The National Park Service anticipated making about 15 awards from an estimated total funding pool of $450,000. Individual awards were expected to range from a minimum (floor) of $5,000 up to a maximum (ceiling) of $55,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or a matching contribution, which can make participation more feasible for communities that want to pursue preservation projects without needing to secure additional non-federal funds to meet a match requirement.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, and the eligibility information also includes Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiian Organizations as eligible applicants. That means the opportunity is specifically aimed at Indigenous entities with recognized governmental or organizational standing, rather than private individuals or non-Indigenous nonprofit groups. The program description emphasizes supporting efforts to protect and promote cultural heritage and traditions, so competitive applications would generally be expected to align clearly with preservation outcomes, community benefit, and the safeguarding of culturally significant historic or cultural resources.
The application deadline for this specific announcement was March 21, 2014 (with the posting and creation date listed as February 6, 2014), and the opportunity was archived on April 20, 2014. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Madeline Konz, Grants Management Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 202-354-2064.
