Applications Now Open for the Save America's Treasures Grant Program
Proposal Deadline is December 20, 2022
Washington, DC–The National Park Service, in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Endowment for the Arts, is now accepting applications for $26.5 million in matching grants to support the preservation of nationally significant historic properties and collections through the Save America's Treasures program.
Since 1999, Save America's Treasures has provided over $355 million to more than 1,300 projects to provide preservation and conservation work on nationally significant collections, artifacts, structures, and sites. Requiring a dollar-for-dollar private match, these grants have leveraged more than $500 million in private investment and contributed more than 16,000 jobs to local and state economies.
Save America's Treasures grants are awarded through a competitive process and require a dollar-for-dollar, non-Federal match, which can be cash or documented in-kind services. To be considered for this funding, historic properties must be listed as National Historic Landmarks or at the national level of significance in the National Register of Historic Places, and a case must be made for a collection's national significance. For more information about the Save America's Treasures grant program, visit https://www.nps.gov/subjects/historicpreservationfund/save-americas-treasures-grants.htm.
Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov by December 20, 2022 (11:59 pm, Eastern Time). Application instructions and materials for both types of projects are available through Grants.gov.
