FY 24-25 NATIONAL PARK SERVICE HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND
GRANT APPLICATION
May 1, 2024, To May 29, 2024 (5:00 PM)
Each year the Division of Historic Preservation distributes an allocation of federal funds for historic preservation projects through a competitive grants process. These funds are allocated to the SHPO by the National Park Service, U. S. Department of the Interior's Historic Preservation Fund (HPF). The focus of the grant proposals should be related to ongoing state and federally mandated programs and initiatives that are outlined in the Louisiana Comprehensive Plan.
In 2024, LASHPO will give special priority to Goal 4, projects that Expand and Promote State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) Services and Programs. Other proposals that relate to ongoing state and federally-mandated programs and initiatives outlined in the Louisiana Comprehensive Plan entitled First We Make a Roux: Ingredients for Preservation Partnerships in Louisiana: 2017-2025, will also be considered. These initiatives include:
Goal 1: Expand Existing Partnerships and Collaborations and Establish New Partnerships Beyond the Preservation Community
Goal 2: Emphasize The Importance Of Education and Public Knowledge
Goal 3: Build Visibility
Please reference the State Plan for specific Objectives and Strategies outlined in each goal. All proposals must include an outreach, public education, or media component within the overall proposed grant project.
Typical recipients include historic preservation organizations, parish governments, economic development districts, planning commissions, museum houses, state agencies, municipal governments, educational institutions, historic district commissions and Certified Local Governments (CLG).
Previously funded projects include, but are not limited to, the development of preservation plans, design guidelines, and document digitization. Previous projects also included surveys of historic districts, preparation of National Register nominations, Historic American Building Survey (HABS) documentation and educational activities to promote historic preservation.
These awarded grant funds must be matched by non-federal monies on at least a 60/40 basis, though grantees may elect to overmatch. Grant funds are distributed on a reimbursable basis only (the recipient makes an expenditure and is subsequently reimbursed for the grant portion of the expenditure when the necessary billing documentation is received).
