Opportunity Information: Apply for P24AS00542
The FY2024 Historic Preservation Fund - African American Civil Rights - AACRN Preservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P24AS00542) is a discretionary grant program run by the National Park Service (NPS) to support the documentation, interpretation, and preservation of places tied to the full arc of the African American fight for equal rights, beginning with the transatlantic slave trade and extending forward through subsequent eras. The program sits within the larger NPS African American Civil Rights Grant Program (AACR) and is designed to help protect historic resources and strengthen public understanding of the people, events, and movements that shaped civil rights history in the United States. When assessing whether proposed sites and projects fit the program, NPS points applicants to its 2008 framework report, Civil Rights in America: A Framework for Identifying Significant Sites, which serves as a guide for determining the historical significance and appropriateness of the properties and stories being advanced.
These AACRN Preservation Grants are funded through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and administered by NPS. The emphasis is on preservation-oriented work for historic sites, and the eligible project types are broad. Funding can support professional architectural and preservation services, development of historic structure reports, preparation of preservation plans, and hands-on physical preservation work to historic structures. In practice, this means applicants can pursue both planning and implementation activities, ranging from studying and documenting a resource to carrying out repair and stabilization work that helps ensure a site remains viable for the future.
Awards are made through a competitive process, and a notable feature is that there is no required non-Federal match for this opportunity, which can make participation more feasible for organizations that may not have access to large pools of private fundraising. For FY2024, Public Law 118-42 provides a total of 24 million dollars for the overall AACR Grant Program, and within that total, 5 million dollars is specifically available for the AACRN Preservation Grants described in this notice. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.966, and the funding instrument is a grant.
Eligibility is limited in a very specific way: applicants must be current members of the National Park Service African American Civil Rights Network (AACRN) at the time they apply. This is the defining eligibility requirement for this particular funding track, and organizations that are not already members would need to address membership before submitting an application. Questions about joining or confirming membership in the Network are directed to aacrn@nps.gov.
Key administrative details from the notice include an original closing date of September 5, 2024, and an award ceiling listed at 5,000,000 (as provided in the source data). The opportunity was created on June 6, 2024, and is posted by the National Park Service.Apply for P24AS00542
