The program provides formula-based grants totaling $23,750,000 to 235 federally recognized tribal governments with signed Memoranda of Agreement with the National Park Service to assume duties of the State Historic Preservation Office on tribal lands. Award amounts range from $83,000 (floor) to $181,000 (ceiling), with 80% of appropriations divided equally among all THPOs and the remaining 20% apportioned based on tribal land area. The anticipated project period runs from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov no later than 11:59 PM ET on June 30, 2026.

All applicants must register in SAM.gov prior to applying and complete required federal forms including SF-424, SF-424A or SF-424C (depending on project type), SF-424B, and a Project Abstract Summary. The program imposes a 25% cap on combined administration and indirect costs by statute. No cost sharing is required. Awards are not competitive; funding is determined by the approved apportionment formula. Recipients must comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation and will be required to place preservation covenants on any historic properties receiving physical preservation assistance for 5-20 years, depending on grant amount.

APPLICATION REVIEW INFORMATION
Eligibility Review During the eligibility review, the application is checked for timely submission, completed packages (see Application Documents above) and alignment with the requirements of this announcement. The Federal agency may remove an application if it does not pass the eligibility review.
Qualified federal personnel will review all applications.
If an applicant selected for funding hasn't finished their SAM.gov registration (see 2 CFR 25.200 and 2 CFR 25.110) when the federal agency is ready to make an award, we may decide that the applicant is ineligible for the award and choose to grant it to someone else. Please refer 2 CFR
25.205 for more information.
Prior to making an award, the DOI checks the anticipated recipient and their key project personnel against the current list of prohibited or restricted persons or entities in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) Exclusions database. We are prohibited from making an award if a recipient or any key personnel are found ineligible, prohibited, restricted, or otherwise excluded from receiving or participating in an award, as their ineligibility condition applies to this program.
If removed from consideration for ineligibility, the Federal agency will notify the applicant in writing.
https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/section-25.200 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-A/section-25.110 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-B/section-25.205 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-2/subtitle-A/chapter-I/part-25/subpart-B/section-25.205
Merit Review The Historic Preservation Fund provides annual formula grants to Tribal (54 U.S.C. 302701) Historic Preservation Offices (THPO) for responsibilities delegated to them by the Department of the Interior (DOI) and the National Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C. 302702) based on an approved apportionment formula approved by the Secretary of the Interior. THPOs may fulfill the requirements of NHPA in eight program areas through a memorandum of agreement with the NPS that may include all or some of the following: nominating properties to the National Register of Historic Places, Historic Preservation Tax Credits, Review and Compliance for Federal undertakings, Survey and Inventory, Development (physical preservation), Preservation Planning, working with Certified Local Governments (CLGs) to preserve local resources, and administration of the grant programs. Qualified federal personnel will review all applications in accordance with the requirements the NHPA places on these formula grants. These are not competitive awards, and funding is determined by an apportionment formula as detailed in the Historic Preservation Fund Grants Manual and approved by the Secretary of the Interior developed in consultation with Tribes with 80% of the total appropriation being divided equally among all THPOs and the remaining 20% being apportioned based on the area of Tribal lands as defined in the National Historic Preservation Act.
Review and Selection Process This program reviews proposed budgets to ensure:
• figures are correct
• estimated costs are necessary and reasonable and clearly linked to project narratives
• avoid obviously unallowable costs
• identify costs requiring prior approval
• ensure indirect cost rates are applied correctly
• confirm cost sharing requirements are reflected in the budget.
This program reviews applications for potential overlap or duplication between the proposed project and any other funded or proposed project. Depending on the circumstances, DOI may choose to not make an award.
a. Initial Review
Prior to conducting the comprehensive merit review, an initial review will be performed to determine whether: (1) the applicant is eligible for an award; (2) the information required by the NOFO has been submitted; (3) all mandatory requirements of the NOFO are satisfied; (4) the proposed project is responsive to the program objectives of the NOFO (program determination);
and (5) the proposed project is in compliance with all applicable executive and secretary orders, including the President’s executive order on Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing, as well as the executive order and Secretary order on Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History. If an applicant fails to meet the requirements or objectives of the NOFO, or does not provide sufficient information for review, the applicant will be considered non-responsive and eliminated from further review.
The Government may enter into discussions with a selected applicant for any reason deemed necessary, including, but not limited to: (1) only a portion of the application is selected for award; (2) the Government needs additional information to determine that the recipient is capable of complying with the requirements of DOI Financial Assistance Regulations, and/or (3) additional specific terms and conditions are required. Failure to satisfactorily resolve the issues identified by the Government may preclude award to the applicant.
Risk Review Prior to making an award, the applicant will be assessed for their level of risk per 2 CFR
200.206. This assessment includes the applicant's financial management capabilities, project delivery experience, staffing resources, past award performance, administration and reporting compliance records, and overall project complexity and potential for challenges. If an award will be made, special conditions may be applied to the award corresponding to the assessed risk. For awards over the simplified acquisition threshold (currently $350,000), a review of the applicant's eligibility and financial integrity information in the applicant's SAM.gov records will also be performed per 2 CFR 200.206.
AWARD NOTICES
Notices of Federal Award are sent electronically via GrantSolutions or e-mail. These notices outline the terms, conditions, and payment instructions per 2 CFR 200.211. The Notice of Federal Award signed by an authorized Grants Officer is the legal instrument obligating financial assistance to a recipient. Any other prior notice is not an authorization to begin work. If the program allows pre-award costs per 2 CFR 200.458, beginning performance before receiving a Notice of Federal Award is at the applicant’s own risk.
Anticipated Project Start Date: 10/01/2025
Anticipated Project End Date: 09/30/2027
Once an application is approved, applicants will receive notification of their award through GrantSolutions.
Any pre-award costs incurred prior to the receipt of a signed agreement or written notice signed by a Financial Assistance Awarding Officer authorizing pre-award costs, is at the applicant’s own risk. A fully executed copy of the grant agreement through GrantSolutions by the Financial Assistance Awarding Officer is the only authorizing document to begin performance. Costs are allowable from the start date of the agreement, October 1, 2025, forward.
