About this program
The Department of the Interior's Historically Black Colleges and Universities Preservation Initiative (CFDA 15.924) funds capital preservation and restoration projects at HBCUs, with the most recent grant award made on September 18, 2009—over 16 years ago.
The program is dormant. No grant awards have been issued since 2009, and no recent grant opportunities are posted. The portfolio shows 71 total awards disbursed across the program's lifetime, with a sharp concentration in 2004 (61 awards). The last three awards occurred in 2009 (2 awards) and 2006 (2 awards), with activity trailing to near zero. The Department of the Interior is the sole funding source for all 71 awards, which total $7.7 million in federal obligations against $9.5 million in combined federal and non-federal dollars—indicating modest cost-share contributions from recipients.
All awards are structured as Project Grants. Award magnitudes vary widely. Recent HBCU-focused awards include $457,143 for Jackson Hall Preservation at Kentucky State University (July 2006), $485,714 for renovation of Bennett College's Merner Pfeiffer Heating Plant (January 2006), and $630,537 for Prairie View A&M's Veterinary Hospital Revitalization (October 2005). The largest single award in the portfolio—$1.75 million—went to restoration of McKee Hall at an HBCU in June 1998. Most awards cluster between $15,000 and $150,000.
The program appears to have shifted focus or ceased active solicitation sometime after 2009. Apart from a 2009 documentary grant ($40,000) and a 2009 financial management grant ($16,500), the recent activity spike occurred in 2004–2005 when HBCU capital projects dominated the award stream. Without active NOFOs or recent award activity, this program does not represent a current pursuit opportunity.
