From Preservation Action:

This week the National Park Service announced the recipients of $25.7 million in grants from the Save America's Treasures grant program. Funded through the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), these grants help preserve nationally significant historic properties and collections. This round of funding will support 59 projects in 26 states and the District of Columbia. Examples of this year's recipients include preservation grants to support climate adaptation for the Naulakha complex, the estate of renowned author Rudyard Kipling in Dummerston Vermont, and funds supporting a multi-phase preservation project of Omaha Union Station, the iconic Art Deco train station that now houses the Durham Museum in Omaha Nebraska.

The Save America's Treasures program requires applicants to match grant funding dollar-for-dollar with non-federal funding, so this year's announcement will leverage nearly $50 million in private and public investment. The Save America's Treasures program was established in 1998 and since inception has provided over $405 million, supporting more than 1,400 projects.

Applications for the next round of funding are expected to open in the fall. Preservation Action continues to advocate for robust funding for the Historic Preservation Fund, including strong support for important programs like Save America's Treasures, as lawmakers continue work on FY25 Appropriations bills.
