Opportunity Information: Apply for P25AS00490
The FY2025 Historic Preservation Fund Annual Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) Grants opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P25AS00490) is a National Park Service discretionary grant program designed to support the day-to-day operation and core work of federally recognized Tribes that run a Tribal Historic Preservation Office under the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), cited at 54 USC 3001 et seq. The basic aim is to help Tribes carry out the historic preservation responsibilities they have formally agreed to assume in place of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for tribal lands, under a Partnership agreement with the National Park Service. In practical terms, the program provides operating and programmatic support so a THPO can function effectively and consistently throughout the year while meeting NHPA requirements.
The activities funded through these awards focus on the identification, evaluation, and protection of historic properties on tribal lands. The notice emphasizes a broad set of preservation functions that THPOs commonly perform under the NHPA, including cultural resource surveys and inventories, preservation planning, technical assistance to the community and partners, and certain forms of physical preservation work where eligible. It also supports THPO participation in the review of Federal undertakings (the compliance review work that occurs when Federal actions may affect historic properties), as well as education and outreach efforts that build understanding of cultural and historic resources. Another key set of eligible activities involves preparing and supporting nominations or listings in the National Register of Historic Places and in Tribal Registers, helping ensure significant places are formally recognized and considered in decision-making.
Eligibility is limited to Native American tribal governments that are federally recognized and that have signed Memoranda of Agreement with the National Park Service to assume SHPO duties on tribal lands as allowed under the NHPA. This means applicants must already be operating in the formal THPO role established by law and agreement, rather than seeking funds to create a THPO from scratch without the required partnership framework. The funding is intended to support work that aligns with, and directly advances, NHPA-authorized historic preservation responsibilities that the Tribe has agreed to take on.
The opportunity is administered by the National Park Service and is associated with CFDA number 15.904. The award ceiling is listed as $200,000, setting the maximum amount an individual award can reach under this announcement. The original application closing date is August 29, 2025, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of July 1, 2025. While the notice does not provide full details on the number of expected awards in the provided excerpt, it frames the grants as annual support for THPO operations, suggesting a recurring program that helps sustain ongoing preservation capacity across participating Tribes.
Finally, the announcement notes that where relevant, staff work and funded projects must follow the appropriate Secretary of the Interior’s Standards. This requirement matters because it ties grant-supported preservation and related technical work to nationally recognized professional standards for historic preservation practice, helping ensure that documentation, treatments, evaluations, and related actions are completed in a consistent and defensible manner. Overall, the grant is best understood as operational and program support for federally recognized Tribes with established THPO agreements to carry out core NHPA preservation duties on tribal lands, including survey, planning, compliance review, education, and formal recognition of historic properties.Apply for P25AS00490
