Opportunity Information: Apply for P23AS00496
The FY2023 Historic Preservation Fund African American Civil Rights AACRN Preservation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P23AS00496) is a discretionary grant program administered by the National Park Service (NPS) to support the preservation of historic places tied to the African American struggle for equal rights. The program sits within the broader NPS African American Civil Rights Grant Program (AACR), which aims to document, interpret, and preserve sites and stories spanning the full arc of African American civil rights history, beginning with the transatlantic slave trade and continuing forward through subsequent eras of resistance, organizing, and legal and social change. In judging whether a proposed project and property fit the program, NPS points applicants to its 2008 report, Civil Rights in America: A Framework for Identifying Significant Sites, which serves as a key reference for evaluating significance and appropriateness.
This specific funding stream is for African American Civil Rights Network (AACRN) Preservation Grants, which are funded through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) and administered by NPS. The emphasis is on concrete preservation outcomes for historic sites. The opportunity is designed to cover a wide range of preservation activities, including architectural and other professional services, historic structure reports, preservation plans, and hands-on physical preservation work to historic structures. In practical terms, this means the program can support both planning and documentation work that prepares a site for long-term stewardship as well as direct stabilization and preservation actions that protect historic fabric and keep significant places from being lost.
Awards are made through a competitive process, and a notable feature is that the grants do not require a non-Federal match, which can lower the barrier for eligible organizations that may not have access to significant fundraising capacity. Funding for the overall AACR Grant Program in FY2023 comes from Public Law 117-328, which provides $24 million total for AACR, with $5 million set aside specifically for these AACRN Preservation Grants. The listing includes CFDA number 15.904, identifies the instrument as a grant, and places the activity category under "Other."
Eligibility is limited: applicants must be current members of the National Park Service African American Civil Rights Network. Organizations that are not yet members but are interested in applying are directed to inquire about membership by contacting aacrn@nps.gov. The opportunity was created on September 21, 2023, and the original closing date was November 15, 2023.Apply for P23AS00496
