Opportunity Information: Apply for P22AS00035
The FY2021 Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) Semiquincentennial Grants program (opportunity number P22AS00035) is a competitive National Park Service (NPS) grant initiative intended to support the preservation of historic places connected to the founding of the United States, interpreted in the broadest possible sense. The program is designed to help safeguard sites that can meaningfully convey key themes in the nation s early formation and development, with the timeline of interest extending through the election of 1800. In practical terms, funded resources must be historically significant for their association with the story of what would become the United States, and the resource period of significance must be at least partly on or before December 31, 1800.
This funding is provided through the Historic Preservation Fund, which is administered by the NPS, and it is focused specifically on physical preservation work. The intent is to fund tangible preservation outcomes, meaning hands-on work to stabilize, repair, restore, or otherwise preserve qualifying historic resources, rather than programming that is purely interpretive or educational. Projects may be located anywhere in the United States as long as they meet the program s historical scope and eligibility requirements.
A central requirement of this opportunity is ownership: while a range of applicant organizations may apply, the historic property (the resource that will receive the grant-assisted work) must be State-owned. This is an important limitation that shapes who can realistically use the program, since applicants must be proposing work on a property held by a state. In addition, grants are not available for sites or collections owned by the National Park Service, meaning NPS-managed properties are explicitly excluded from receiving these funds.
The eligible applicant types are broad and include state governments, local governments (such as counties and cities or townships), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status). The eligibility list also includes Native American tribal organizations and references participation by federally recognized tribes, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiian Organizations as defined in federal statute (54 USC 300300). Even with this wide applicant pool, the State-owned property requirement still applies to every funded project.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant within federal assistance (CFDA number 15.904) and falls under arts and humanities related funding activities (with an other designation included). Awards are made through a competitive selection process, and a notable feature is that no non-federal match is required, which can reduce barriers for applicants that might otherwise struggle to provide cost share. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000. The opportunity record shows an original closing date of 2022-05-17 and a creation date of 2022-02-24.Apply for P22AS00035
