Newport Historical Society has demonstrated significant capacity as a federal grant recipient across diverse funding programs and agencies. The organization has received project grants from the National Endowment for the Arts to support the reinstallation of permanent galleries at the Museum of Newport History in recognition of America250, and multiple grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, including funding for flood remediation and rehousing of collections damaged in a January 2024 disaster, as well as support for designing and building a temporary exhibition titled "Newport's Three Revolutions" that will explore pivotal periods between 1775 and 1783. Through the National Park Service's Historic Preservation Fund Grants-in-Aid program (CFDA 15.966), Newport Historical Society received $300,000 to conduct architectural services, historic structure reports, preservation planning, and physical preservation work on the Wanton-Lyman-Hazard House through September 2028.

Additionally, Newport Historical Society operates a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service for educational programming including the "French in Newport" living history event and the "Women on the Water" and "Kids on the Water" initiatives that provide interactive learning experiences through 2029. The organization also received a $150,085 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Museums for America program (CFDA 45.301) to hire a full-time research assistant to continue developing its database of records representing Black and Indigenous individuals, building on work since 2021 that has identified and recorded over 1,700 names of people of African and Indigenous descent from the Newport archives.
