Save America’s Treasures grants from the Historic Preservation Fund provide preservation and/or conservation assistance to nationally significant historic properties and collections. Grants are awarded through a competitive process and require a dollar-for-dollar, non-Federal match, which can be cash or documented in-kind. The grant program is administered by the National Park Service (NPS) in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
Preservation projects must be “nationally significant”; for the purposes of this program, this is defined as project work performed directly on a resource that is:
o Individually designated as a National Historic Landmark or a contributing resource to a National Historic Landmark District; or
o Individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places for NATIONAL significance (not state or local significance) or a contributing resource to a historic district that is listed in the National Register for its national significance.
Deadline: Dec. 12, 2024
Preservation projects must range from $125,000 to $750,000 in federal share, of which no more than 20% of the total budget may go toward pre-preservation costs such as architectural or engineering services. A minimum of 50% match (1:1) is required.
