The Preserve America matching-grant program provides planning funding to designated Preserve America Communities to support preservation efforts through heritage tourism, education, and historic preservation planning.

Through these grant projects our country gains a greater shared knowledge about the Nation's past, strengthened regional identities and local pride, increased local participation in preserving the country's cultural and natural heritage assets, and support for the economic vitality of our communities.

Please check back in late Fall 2009 for more information on FY 2010 Preserve America grant funding. Information about the grant application and upcoming deadlines will be determined based on the availability of funds in the FY 2010 Department of Interior Appropriation.
