The Fort Ticonderoga Association

The Fort Ticonderoga Association, doing business as Fort Ticonderoga Museum, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for museum exhibitions, educational programming, historic preservation, and archival digitization work centered on American Revolution history and cultural heritage. The organization competes exclusively in grant programs rather than contract vehicles and holds no federal contract prime awardees or IDV seats.

Fort Ticonderoga Museum operates from its headquarters in Ticonderoga, New York, and serves four distinct federal grantor agencies, all in the education, cultural, and heritage space. The National Endowment for the Humanities leads the funding relationship with nine awards; the Department of the Interior National Park Service follows with six awards; the Institute of Museum and Library Services has placed four awards; and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science has funded three. These agencies account for 100% of recent awards. Over the past several years, the organization has received $8.6 million in combined obligated funding across 22 project grants, with a relatively flat activity profile — two awards per year in 2022, 2023, and 2024, declining to one in 2025 and one (very recently) in 2026.

Recent capability work spans educational programming, digital asset development, and preservation engineering. The Institute of Museum and Library Services awarded the organization $1,233,950 in September 2026 under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) to implement educational programming and exhibitions for the American Revolution's 250th anniversary, including a conference on the 1776 Battle of Valcour Island, three scholarly seminars, and a teacher institute for K-12 educators, with performance through December 31, 2028. Earlier in 2025, IMLS provided $580,339 for digital educational resource development, online exhibits, and virtual tours to expand accessibility beyond on-site visitors. The National Park Service awarded $771,600 under the Historic Preservation Fund Grants-In-Aid program (CFDA 15.904) in October 2024 to conserve and restore historic masonry at Fort Ticonderoga. NEH's Promotion of the Humanities Professional Development program (CFDA 45.163) funded a $152,382 grant in October 2024 for two one-week teacher workshops exploring American Revolution themes. Preservation work has also included a $1,000,257 Save America's Treasures award from the Department of the Interior in November 2022 for North Demilune masonry repairs, and a $199,300 NEH grant in 2022 for archival inventory and accessibility work conducted in partnership with the St. Regis Mohawk Tribe.

Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. The organization operates as a direct grant recipient with no subcontract or sub-recipient relationships in the federal footprint reflected in the source data.
