Summary
This grant opportunity offers financial support to initiatives aimed at preserving cultural and historical resources across various regions in the United States, with a particular emphasis on areas where local heritage efforts face significant challenges. The funding is designed to empower nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and individuals engaged in activities that promote the conservation and interpretation of historic sites and cultural resources.
Eligible applicants generally include nonprofit organizations that are members of a designated preservation network, though collaborative proposals involving small community-based groups may also be considered if one entity serves as the lead applicant. The grant prioritizes projects that align with key thematic areas such as public advocacy, capacity building, and climate resilience planning related to historic preservation. Applicants are encouraged to focus on a primary theme while acknowledging possible overlaps with secondary priorities.

Recipients must provide matching funds, which may include cash, grants, or in-kind contributions. Projects must adhere to established preservation standards and promote equitable contracting practices.

Supported activities often include planning studies, community outreach, advocacy campaigns, and training programs designed to build organizational capacity and promote sustainable preservation solutions. The funding is not intended for property acquisition, major construction, or purchase of equipment.
