From Preservation Action:

The National Park Service is currently accepting applications for $5 million in History of Equal Rights grants. Funded through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), this grant program helps preserve sites related to the struggle to achieve equal rights for all Americans. These grants are not limited to any specific group and are intended to include the broadest possible interpretation of eligible sites. This marks the 5th round of funding for the History of Equal Rights grant program, after being established by Congress in 2019.

Grants support planning and "bricks and mortar" preservation projects and are funded through a competitive process. Grants are open to states, tribes, local governments (including Certified Local Governments), educational institutions and nonprofits. Applications are due August 20, 2024.

This important grant program is helping to preserve sites and stories that tell a more complete story of America. Preservation Action is urging lawmakers to support $7 million in funding for the History of Equal Rights grant program in the FY 25 appropriations process.
