Opportunity Information: Apply for P25AS00489
The FY2025 Emergency Supplemental Historic Preservation Fund (ESHPF) - Preservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P25AS00489) is a National Park Service competitive grant program intended to help communities recover historic and cultural resources damaged by natural disasters. Funding comes from FY2025 Public Law 118-158, which directs a total of $48,000,000 for ESHPF awards tied specifically to the consequences of natural disasters that occurred in calendar years 2023 and/or 2024. A key feature of this program is that it does not require a non-federal cost share, which can make it more accessible for applicants facing large, urgent recovery costs after a disaster.
This particular announcement, P25AS00489, is focused on defined, on-the-ground preservation projects, including physical preservation work and reconstruction, as long as there is documented damage tied to a qualifying disaster declaration. It is separate from another ESHPF notice (P25AS00257), which is reserved for State and Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs and THPOs) seeking capacity support to handle compliance workloads and to conduct in-house, non-construction activities such as surveys, planning, and similar work within their disaster-declared jurisdictions. Applicants need to choose the correct announcement based on whether they are pursuing capacity/survey work through a SHPO/THPO notice, or a tangible preservation project through this preservation notice.
Eligible applicants for P25AS00489 include a broad range of governmental and nonprofit entities: state governments, local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), federally recognized Tribal governments and other Tribal organizations, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian organizations (as defined by 54 USC 300300), nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and public or private institutions of higher education. The program is not available for sites or collections that are owned or leased by the federal government, or where the federal government holds a property interest, meaning the resource must be non-federal in ownership/control to qualify.
To be eligible, the historic or cultural resource must be either already listed in the National Register of Historic Places, determined eligible for listing by the appropriate SHPO or THPO, listed in an equivalent Tribal register, or designated as a National Historic Landmark, either as an individual property or as a contributing resource within a historic district. If a resource is not yet listed, it can still be considered, but it must be successfully listed in the National Register (or equivalent Tribal register) by the end of the grant period. In addition to meeting the historic designation requirement, the resource must have experienced damage from a natural disaster that received a major disaster declaration under the Stafford Act, and that declaration must correspond to disasters occurring in calendar year 2023 and/or 2024. The opportunity materials reference using a map tool to confirm whether a resource sits inside an eligible declared disaster area, and FEMA major disaster declarations can also be checked directly through FEMA resources.
Projects are expected to be clearly defined and tied to documented disaster impacts, which typically means applicants should be prepared to show what happened, what was damaged, and what specific work is proposed to address that damage in a preservation-appropriate way. The notice also anticipates applications that cover multiple locations: if an applicant plans to work across several sites (for example, multiple buildings within a historic district or multiple historic properties across a jurisdiction), they are encouraged to submit a single application that includes supporting documentation for each individual site, rather than submitting many separate applications.
From an administrative standpoint, this opportunity is a discretionary grant (CFDA/Assistance Listing 15.957) issued by the National Park Service. The application deadline listed is July 15, 2025, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is up to $15,000,000. The program description does not state a fixed number of expected awards in the provided text, reinforcing that awards will be made competitively based on available funds and proposal strength.Apply for P25AS00489
