Synopsis

The National Park Service’s (NPS) Semiquincentennial Grant Program will support the physical preservation of a broad variety of cultural resources associated with the founding of America as a nation in commemoration of the country's semiquincentennial (250th anniversary). These grants are funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), administered by the NPS, and will fund physical preservation to properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places, including buildings, sites, structures, objects, or historic districts. Grants are awarded through a competitive process and do not require non-Federal match, though match may be considered as a competitive factor. Note that funding appropriated in Fiscal Years (FY) 2025 and 2026 is being made available through this Notice of Funding Opportunity.

Who can apply

Eligible applicants are State governments, local governments, nonprofits (including non-profit institutions of higher education), and Federally Recognized Indian Tribes, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiian Organizations as defined by 54 U.S.C. § 3003 et seq. Sites or collections owned or leased by the NPS, or in which the NPS holds a property interest are not eligible. Important noteProperties must be listed in the National Register of Historic Places at the time of application either individually or as contributing to a historic district.
