The National Park Service (NPS) awarded the City of Boston $525,262 through the Save America's Treasures program (CFDA 15.929) on September 23, 2025, to support conservation and collections housing of the 1740 ceramics collection. This Project Grant, administered by the NPS in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, and Institute of Museum and Library Services, provides preservation and conservation assistance to nationally significant historic properties and collections through a competitive, merit-based process. The award requires a dollar-for-dollar non-federal match, which may be provided as cash or documented in-kind contributions.

The physical preservation project is scheduled for completion by April 30, 2029, and will deliver conservation treatment and appropriate housing infrastructure for the significant 1740 ceramics collection held by the City of Boston. The Save America's Treasures program supports two parallel funding tracks—preservation projects addressing physical restoration of historic structures and sites, and collections conservation projects benefiting museums, libraries, archives, and other collecting institutions. This award falls within the collections conservation track and reflects the program's commitment to protecting nationally significant cultural artifacts and intellectual resources.
