FY2025 Historic Preservation Fund - Historically Black Colleges and Universities Grants

The contract pertains to the FY2025 Historic Preservation Fund specifically targeting grants for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It continues the grant program originally established in 1988 to support the documentation, preservation, and stabilization of historic structures located on accredited HBCU campuses. Eligible projects include those involving historic resources that are individually listed or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, or are part of a National Register or National Historic Landmark district on these campuses. All funded work must adhere to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation to ensure integrity and proper preservation practices. In addition to physical preservation efforts, the grant program also supports activities such as historic surveys, nomination processes, and preservation planning for HBCU campuses. The solicitation for this program is managed by the National Park Service under the Department of the Interior, with a response deadline of July 28, 2026. The program provides federal funding opportunities to assist HBCUs in preserving their historic architecture and heritage, reflecting a commitment to maintaining these culturally significant sites for future generations.
