The National Park Service (NPS) is offering African American Civil Rights (AACR) Preservation Grants, funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF). This program aims to document, interpret, and preserve sites and stories encompassing the full history of the African American struggle for equal rights, from the transatlantic slave trade forward. Project appropriateness is guided by the NPS 2008 Civil Rights in America report. These grants support a broad range of preservation projects, including architectural services, historic structure reports, preservation plans, and physical preservation of historic structures. Awards are competitive and do not require a non-Federal match. Applicants should note separate funding announcements for physical preservation versus historical research/documentation projects. The program provides $24 million for these vital initiatives.
