Historic Preservation Grants

Since 1968, the National Park Service has provided funding for a variety of grant programs aimed at protecting our Nation's most significant historic and cultural sites and our diverse cultural heritage. More than one billion dollars has been awarded to Federal, State, and local governments, Native American Tribes, nonprofit organizations and educational institutions for preservation projects in all 50 states and the U.S. Territories.

The Historic Preservation Grants Division is responsible for the administration of the National Park Service's preservation grant programs. Follow the links to the left for more information about how our grant programs can help to preserve and protect cultural resources in your community.

Important Payment System Transition Information!

The National Park Service is transitioning to a new business system called the Financial and Business Management System (FBMS). This change is mandated by the Department of the Interior. The new payment system will be the Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP). All current grantees should have received an email containing forms to register with ASAP. To register send this form to a ASAP_Enrollment"at"nps.gov. To prevent delays in payments, register in ASAP now. Do not wait until November!

Transition Timeline:

• From September 28 to October 24, all grantees will need to request payment by sending an SF 270 Request for Advance or Reimbursement form to your NPS grants manager. You may send this form to your NPS grants manager via mail, fax, or email (scanned signed copy). Payments will then be issued directly from the National Park Service.

• Black-out period from October 25, 2012, until ASAP is up and running in mid-November, NPS will be moving all financial data into the new system. No grant payments will be made.
