African American Civil Rights Grant Program (deadline October 10, 2023)
Funding is now available through the African American Civil Rights Grant Program (AACR). AACR Grants are funded by the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), administered by the National Park Service, and will fund a broad range of preservation projects, including survey and inventory, National Register nominations, oral histories, and more. Grants are awarded through a competitive process and do not require a non-Federal funding match. Grants are available to fund two types of projects: “history” and “preservation.” History grants will support interpretive and research-based projects, while preservation grants will fund planning and “bricks and mortar” preservation/conservation work on historic buildings and structures. More details are available here: African American Civil Rights Grant Opportunity (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)
