Louisiana Preservation Alliance Inc.

Louisiana Preservation Alliance Inc., doing business as Louisiana Trust For Historic Preservation, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that receives federal grant funding as a sub-recipient exclusively from the National Park Service through the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism. The organization does not hold prime federal contracts or serve as a federal contract prime; all six recent awards in the source are federal grant sub-awards routed through a state intermediary.

Louisiana Trust For Historic Preservation operates entirely within the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund grants program, administered by the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism as the prime grantee. All six sub-awards derive from a single customer agency — the Department of the Interior National Park Service — accounting for 100% of recent award volume and $338 thousand in combined dollars obligated across the period from October 2022 through October 2025. Award frequency has remained modest and flat: one sub-award in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and one in 2025.

The organization's capability portfolio centers on statewide historic preservation education, documentation, and resource identification. Representative sub-award work includes hosting the Louisiana Preservation Conference and Fall and Spring Rambles to engage the public with preservation best practices and local history (2024), developing guidelines and an online application platform for the Louisiana Registered Historic Cemetery program (2023), conducting research on historic properties to support National Register of Historic Places eligibility questionnaires and nomination forms for three communities — Dubach, Bancroft, and YMMPBS — including GIS database integration with the state Division of Archaeology (2024), and delivering a series of statewide educational programs on historic preservation resources and opportunities (2022 and 2023). The organization also manages an annual membership drive and participates in statewide conferences to promote historic preservation awareness.

Louisiana Trust For Historic Preservation does not appear in federal contract procurement vehicles, has no federal prime contract history, and operates exclusively as a grant sub-recipient within a single federal program. The organization's positioning is entirely downstream of state-intermediary grant administration; it neither bids on federal contracts nor holds seats on GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs. The sub-award structure means the organization's work is carried out under Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation and the National Park Service Historic Preservation Fund Grants Manual (2007 edition).
