About this program
The Department of the Interior National Park Service administers the National Historic Landmark program (CFDA 15.912), which funds preservation, documentation, and interpretation work at designated historic sites and landmarks, with the most recent grant award made in September 2014.
Program activity has slowed substantially. Twenty-two total awards were made between 2004 and 2014, with the award cadence declining from three awards in 2010 to one or two per year in 2011–2014. No grant awards have been disbursed since September 2014, more than twelve years ago. The portfolio reflects predominantly Cooperative Agreements (21 of 22 awards, 95 percent) with a single Block Grant.
Recent awarded work spans archaeological documentation, site interpretation, publication of cultural resource materials, and physical preservation infrastructure. Representative awards funded the Illinois and Michigan Canal nomination update ($51,311, 2013), the Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship program ($5,000, 2010), interpretation support for Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site ($810,310, 2004), preservation of the African Meeting House and Abiel Smith School in Boston ($152,000, 2008), and promotion and preservation of Faneuil Hall in Boston ($100,000, 2008). One award funded construction of fences to address trespass grazing problems at a historic site ($29,750, 2007).
The National Park Service is the sole funding source across the program's entire portfolio, directing all $2.5 million in combined federal dollars obligated. Award magnitudes typically range from $5,000 to $200,000, though the 2004 Brown v. Board award significantly exceeded this typical band. No matching or cost-share contribution appears in the portfolio.
The most recent grant opportunity visible in the source was posted in February 2012—the Notice of Intent to Award modification to the Faneuil Hall Cooperative Agreement with the City of Boston (NPS-12-NERO-0018, due February 20, 2012). No open solicitations or recently posted opportunities appear in the source. The absence of awards and opportunities since 2014 signals either dormancy or a significant shift in how the program disburses funding.
