American Battlefield Protection Program | P19AS00011

Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00011

The American Battlefield Protection Program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the Department of the Interior through the National Park Service. Its purpose is to help communities and institutions identify, research, evaluate, interpret, and protect historic battlefields and related sites across the United States. In practical terms, the program is aimed at strengthening the long-term preservation of places where historically significant conflicts occurred, while also supporting work that helps the public understand why those sites matter. The scope is broad, covering efforts at the national, state, and local level, which means projects can range from localized site documentation all the way to larger regional initiatives tied to battlefield landscapes and associated historic resources.

This opportunity is offered as a grant under Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00011 and falls under the Education funding activity category (CFDA 15.926). The program anticipates making about 20 awards, with an award ceiling of $100,000 per grant. The opportunity was created on February 6, 2019, and the original application closing date was April 8, 2019. Because the focus includes identification and evaluation as well as protection and interpretation, the types of supported activities commonly include surveying and mapping battlefield boundaries, compiling or updating historical research, assessing integrity and threats to sites, developing interpretive and educational materials, and planning or preliminary steps that enable protection of resources connected to historic battles and their surrounding landscapes.

Eligible applicants include a wide mix of public and community-serving entities: state governments, county governments, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; and certain nonprofit organizations, including nonprofits that do not hold 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). Overall, the grant is structured to support partnerships and practical, on-the-ground work that preserves battlefield resources and improves how those places are documented and presented to the public, ensuring that historically important landscapes and associated sites are better protected for future generations.
