Historically Black Colleges and Universities Grant Program (HBCU)

National Park Service - Historic Preservation Fund

Agency: Federal

GrantWatch ID #199734

Grant Description

Grants to USA and US Virgin Islands Historically Black Colleges and Universities for projects to preserve structures of historical significance. Applicants are advised that required registrations may take up to four weeks to complete. Funding is intended to support a broad range of pre-preservation planning activities and physical preservation work for historic sites that are listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places or as a National Historic Landmark.

In 1988, the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Preservation grant program was established to document, preserve, and stabilize historic structures on HBCU campuses. The HBCU grant program exists to repair historic structures on campuses of Historically Black Colleges and Universities that are listed or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places either individually or as contributing to a National Register or National Historic Landmark historic district. Projects must meet major program selection criteria and all work must meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation.

Grants are available for planning and "bricks and mortar" preservation/conservation work on historic sites, including buildings and structures. Eligible costs for preservation projects include: architectural services, historic structure reports, preservation plans, and physical preservation to structures.

What Is Funded

Preservation projects that fund physical preservation of historic sites to include historic districts, buildings, sites, structures, and objects. Projects must comply with Section 106, NEPA, and execute a preservation covenant/easement.
Eligible costs include pre-preservation studies, architectural plans and specifications, historic structure reports, campus-wide preservation plans, National Register nominations and amendments, and the repair and rehabilitation of historic properties according to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Archaeology and Historic Preservation.

For a full list of Eligible Costs see page 7 of the NOFO in Attached Files below.
