Federal Project Grant Award Summary

The National Park Service (NPS), in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), awarded $479,502 to the Keysmith Foundation on September 23, 2025, under the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929). This physical preservation project, with a completion date of April 30, 2029, will fund the rehabilitation of exterior openings and moisture protection measures at a nationally significant historic property located in Round Rock, Texas. The project addresses structural preservation priorities through targeted restoration work designed to mitigate environmental threats and extend the property's integrity.

The Save America's Treasures program provides matching grants for preservation and conservation of nationally significant historic properties and cultural collections. As a competitive, merit-based grant program, awards require a dollar-for-dollar non-federal match (cash or in-kind contributions) and are evaluated on criteria including national significance, threat mitigation, project feasibility, and implementation methodology. Eligible beneficiaries include states, tribes, local governments, and nonprofit organizations, with individual award maximums of $750,000 for preservation projects in the FY2024 funding cycle.
