Save America's Treasures Grant Program

Deadline: December 19, 2023

Save America's Treasures is a National Park Service grant program in collaboration with the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. This grant program supports preserving nationally significant historic properties and collections and requires a dollar-for-dollar match. Grants are awarded to Federal, state, county, local, and tribal government entities, including independent school districts, public and private institutions of higher education, and non-profit organizations. Based on prior years, the NPS anticipates funding between 30 and 70 projects from the $26.5 million Congress has appropriated for this grant program in Fiscal Year 2023.

Grants are available for preservation and/or conservation work on nationally significant intellectual and cultural artifacts and historic structures and sites. This grant program is divided into two parts:

• Preservation projects (for properties listed in the National Register of Historic Places for national significance or designated a National Historic Landmark. The property may be listed on either individually or as contributing to a nationally significant district). These awards are managed by the National Park Service. Award amounts of a minimum of $125,000 and a maximum of $750,000 Federal share.
• Collections projects including artifacts, museum collections, documents, sculptures, and other works of art. These awards are managed by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Award amounts of a minimum of $25,000 and a maximum of $750,000 Federal share.
