The National Park Service (NPS) offers the Underrepresented Communities Grant Program (URC), funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF). This grant is specifically designed to diversify listings within the National Register of Historic Places by ensuring that communities currently underrepresented are included. The program supports projects focused on surveys and nominations of historic sites that hold significance for these diverse groups. A core requirement for every URC grant project is the successful completion of at least one new or amended nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, directly contributing to a more inclusive and representative national historical record.
