Opportunity Information: Apply for P22AS00029

The FY2021 Historic Preservation Fund - Tribal Heritage Grants (Funding Opportunity Number P22AS00029) is a discretionary grant program administered by the National Park Service under the authority of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Its purpose is to provide financial support for cultural and historic preservation projects led by Indigenous communities, specifically to help protect, sustain, and share cultural heritage and living traditions that are at risk of being lost, damaged, or disconnected from future generations.

The program is designed around the priorities that Tribes themselves have identified over time. Rather than focusing only on buildings or conventional historic markers, it supports preservation work tied to community-defined heritage, including traditional skills and practices, oral history and Indigenous knowledge, culturally important plant and animal species, and the protection of sacred and historic places. It also recognizes the importance of strengthening the infrastructure needed to do this work long-term, including activities connected to establishing or supporting Tribal Historic Preservation Offices and related preservation capacity within eligible communities.

Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized, as well as other eligible Native entities described in federal statute. In practical terms, the opportunity is restricted to Federally recognized Tribes, Alaska Native Villages or Corporations, and Native Hawaiian Organizations, consistent with the definitions referenced in 54 USC 300309, 54 USC 300313, and 54 USC 300314. The eligible applicant types listed include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), but the narrative emphasis is that eligibility is bounded by the federal definitions cited above.

Awards are issued as grants under CFDA number 15.904. The listed maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $60,000. The opportunity record indicates an original application closing date of March 1, 2022, and a creation date of December 21, 2021. Overall, this funding opportunity is aimed at enabling Indigenous communities to carry out preservation projects on their own terms, centered on safeguarding cultural continuity, protecting places and resources of traditional importance, and reinforcing the community capacity needed to manage heritage preservation efforts over time.
