Grant Description: Subject to the availability of funds appropriated in Fiscal Year 2007, applications are invited for Federal Preserve America Grants. Preserve America grants offer a new type of funding from the Federal Government to support communities that have demonstrated a commitment to recognizing, designating, and protecting local cultural resources. Grants are available to assist local economies find self-sustaining ways to promote their cultural resources through heritage tourism. Preserve America is a White House initiative developed in cooperation with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Department of the Interior, and other Federal agencies. Mrs. Laura Bush, First Lady of the United States, serves as the Honorary Chair of this initiative. The Preserve America grant program is administered by the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. For information on how to be designated as a Preserve America community, contact the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation at (202) 606-8503, email achp@achp.gov, or visit www.preserveamerica.gov.Grants will be awarded through a competitive process and each grant will require a dollar-for-dollar, non-Federal match, which can be in the form of cash or in-kind donated services for grant-assisted work. The grant and the non-Federal match must be expended during the grant period (1 to 2 years). The minimum grant request is $20,000 Federal share (resulting in a total project cost of $40,000). The maximum grant request for any project is $150,000 (resulting in a total project cost of $300,000). SHPOs and THPOs may apply on behalf of a group of community projects, each seeking less than the $20,000 minimum grant. Preserve America funding would then be awarded to the SHPO or THPO and subgranted by them to these smaller projects in individual Preserve America Communities. SHPOs and THPOs seeking funding through this mechanism will hold competitions for individual subgrants after receiving Preserve America funding, and are not required to describe individual subgrants at the time the SHPO and THPO apply for funding. The Preserve America Grants Selection Panel may, at its discretion, award less then the minimum grant request. Eligible activities, selection criteria, administrative and funding requirements, and application submission instructions follow. Applicants should review the selection criteria and evaluation criteria carefully, along with the guidelines and application instructions in detail before completing the application.
